4' x 1.5' x 21" 75 gallon tank.

specs: pool filter sand, fake weighted plants, driftwood with java fern attached, two cichlids stones.

Stock: 2 striped rapheals(3"), 1 ropefish(15", hes a big guy), 1 L001 pleco(6"), and a VERY aggressive blood parrot, 5"(it's one of the mean ones, it almost killed my payara, 2 JD's[both bigger], and bulled my 14" gar)

So any cichlid suggestions? i'd like to only get one and i would love it to be a more interactive species. i love oscars(?), jaguar cichlids(i'd settle for female), green terrors, pikes, red bay snooks(?), severums, uaras, geos, viejas, and female fastae's.
 
In all honesty your at your stock limit for a 75g I wouldn't put anything else in there. An oscar would put you way over the top on keeping up with water quality and they grow 1in a month and get 12in+. You don't want to throw a jag, gt, or red terror in that tight of confines with what you have. Your blood parrot has claimed the tank as its..so whatever you get is going to have to back that thing down or you might have to remove the blood parrot for a month then add it back. The severum "might" be a good choice is done this way. I dont recommend adding anything,but if your dead set on it thats what I would do.

Alright thanks. I had mixed feeling about adding another fish anyways. Ill stick with what I got.
