Good Tankmates?

When they gain some size probably a 200g. But for right now they got plenty of space.

Not really. The dovii and umbee are going to be growing fast right now. The umbee would already be at 4" and the dovii willbe at 4"-5" soon. I've seen smaller fish take over 75 gal tanks by themselves, nonetheless having two in that category together.

When push comes to shove, these fish are not compatible together unless you have a HUGE tank (200g will most likely not suffice for life).

I think it will be a contest between the umbee and the dovii to see who can eat the convicts first!

But I got some time before the gain in size, I can trade the Jelly's and female convicts for feeders. Keep the Dovi and Umbee.

But do you plan on having 2 200+ gallon tanks?

.... As mentioned above. The Dovii/Umbi will monster the smaller fish and then you will have a power struggle even in a 200g tank.

You will need to upgrade soon as I always keep small Dovii etc in 75g but they quickly gain size.

So in a word... No your stocking will not work, which you should know before purchasing any large fish as you wouldnt need to ask that question if you knew what you were doing.

First off if the Covict is male the Dovii wont eat it as long as you never feed it live food. With that said a 75 gallon is too small for Umbee and Dovii. Keep the Convict and add similar sized cichlids such as Firemouth, Salvini, or Jack Dempsey that might work.
If your convinced you want the Dovii and Umbee you will need atleast a 240 gallon tank and even then may not work. So if it were me I would decide on either Dovii or Umbee and a 240 gallon tank. Then you could do dithers or target fish such as Tinfoil Barbs or Silver Dollars.

If you want both,get a 625 gallon pond,it would cost less than a 200 gallon fish tank

You don't have any time.. You said you have a 75 tall.. That's not the same as a 75 regular. Two 4-5" fish aren't going to be very cordial about just drawing a line in the sand and staying squished to their own sides.

At least, not THOSE two fish.
