I have a 360 gallon tank with 3 Neetropulus, 3 Red Jewels, 1 Salvini, 2 Convicts, and 1 Bredohri, do you this this will work, they are all around 3 inches? I wanted a lot of action in the tank, and they do provide that. I have the tank aquascaped very well.

I wanted to add a 5 spot (3 star General), but I am not sure that will work?

Do anyone have their opinions on whether which Cichlid would probably turn out to be the most aggressive?

Also is this too many Cichlids in the tank? Would you add more or leave as is?

If you would add more would cichlids would you add?

I know this is a matter of choice/opinion but just curious what others think?
 
You may do well with 360 gallons, although you have some very aggressive fish together.
In my experience, the (if you mean) Neetroplus nematopus, and the salvini are the most aggressive that you have at the moment.
The 5 stars can also be very aggressive, so if you add them, I think the first thing they would do is easily take out (destroy) your other African jewel cichlids.
As far as adding other cichlids, if it were me, I'd add more breidhori

Yes I did mean Neetroplus nematopus, I was wondering which cichlid would be the most aggressive, I know that they are all aggressive, but so far you are probably right from what I see so far... Just curious, why would you add more Breidhori?
 
I don't consider breidhori excessively aggressive, and in a tank that size, I would think they'd do well in a shoal, show their colors, and act in a natural manner.
And I simply like breidhori, they are one of the favorites of that clade that I have kept. when I had them, I kept a shoal of 4 or 5, until they spawned, then the pair eliminated the others outside of the pair.

Nice pair, It looks like the one in the front is the male? Mine looks just like the one that you have in the front. I am hoping he will have nice colors... I have never had one until now, so I don't no much about them, and never seen and adult Breidhori. I was thinking in terms of having one large display Cichlid with all the others just kind of filling up the tank...
