90 gallon tank with 125g/HR cascade canister, aquaclear 60g/HR HOB, DIY 60/HR HOB, 2 air pumps.

So could I add a Frontosa to this mix without issue?

-blood parrot
-very docile black belt
-EBJD
-4 loaches
 
just like you asked earlier on another thread no....

The thread I made asking a similar question the other day included SEVERAL more fish than just the ones I asked about above.
I cut it down to these 5, and since that's not doable, I guess ill need to make a few more cuts. Figured it was worth a new thread.

In term of compatibility and water requirements, there is no reason why they cannot be housed together. Blood Parrots have deformed mouth, and can't do much harm. EBJD is docile, and Black Belt is only mildly aggresive and so is Frontosa. However, Black Belt and Frontosa can reach 15 inch and a 90 gal tank can only accommodate one adult, not both. Even docile fish become intollerant when there is not enough personal space.
 
(1) Fronts do best in schools;
(2) Fronts grow large to 14-16";
(3) Fronts like subdued light, you may not appreciate your EBJD with that;
(4) Your black belt may change attitude in time
