I was wondering what kind of and how many bottom dwelling fish I should get for my 75 gallon tank. Also should I get an algae eater? If so what kind?

Well my tank just finished cycling but in the final stock i’m planning to have a convict, firemouth, JD, Green Terror, Red Spotted Severum, and 3 Zebra Danios. The tank has PLENTY of hiding spots
 
Once they get big enough to need to be moved I’m planning on moving them to a 125 but for the time being they will all be in the 75 What type of bottom dwellers do you think could get along with these guys. I was thinking a couple cory’s
 
I wouldn’t suggest not adding any more fish until you either own or setup the 125g...I feel like the green terror is the odd fish out in that list....he himself could require an entire 75g to himself (depending on its temperament)

If it were my tank, I’d drop the GT and severum, and add either a Pictus or bristlenose, or smaller 6inch bottom feeder

Jacks are fairly reserved and I would almost consider them bottom dwellers with the amount of time they spend at the bottom of the tank....I rarely see my jacks at the middle of the tank and even less at the top of the tank
