All in all, great start.
A few notes on my end:
Parrot is theorized to be bred from Vieja melanurus (formerly synspillum) and amphilophus citrinellus/labiatus (Midas/red devil - the lines of which are also blurred due to hybridizing). There’s one project on here where someone intentionally created parrot-like hybrids using said parent species.
On the zebra - I’d recommend not keeping it with peacocks, mine wouldn’t let them live long. It also will get mean with more peaceful mbuna like labs or acei. Though mine was in a 36 gallon which likely didn’t help aggression.
Firemouths are known to do well in groups compared to other species if I’m not mistaken.
For the green terror - males can be mainly determined by the patterning on the anal fin. Rivulatus also has a white finned form, dubbed “white suam” (orange fin gt is gold suam).
A 3 inch keyhole is still going to need at least 20 gallons bare minimum, 30+ being ideal. Similar for the ram.
Gourami will need at least 30+ as well.
Sailfin pleco will do best in 150+ gallon range for how messy they are.

Thank you so much for all the replies and suggestions! I'm adding more content day-by-day including in my blog as well!

I added a lot more content in the fish keeping blog section and the species profile section! link: https://www.andrew-li.org/home
The 2 new articles are about:
1) why I named my fish Doctor Pleco
2) how I cured Ich
I also added many new species profiles as well as new pics!
