I'm a fairly new fish keeper. My daughter worked at a pet store and brought home a green terror cichlid because he was getting picked on and put him in with our Electric Yellow cichlids. He's been in a 40 gallon tank with two of them the last year and he's grown tremendously and I am getting ready to move him into a 75 gallon. I need help with ideas for tank mates that I can put with him? Thanks in advance.

He would be fine solo. You could also try some type of pleco (not the ones that get 24"+ though).
I have had success keeping GTs w/ a variety of species, however your SA-cichlids will typically fare best due to similar environmental condition requirements. The decision is up to you if you want to try more peaceful cichlids and just make a lot of caves and hide-spaces and keep the GT as "boss" or keep it with other similarly tempered/sized heavy-hitters, such as certain CA-cichlids.
My success is merely my own, however I currenty have or previously had success keeping GT w/ Jacks Dempseys, Geophagus, Gymnogeophagus, Amphilophus, Jaguars, FMs, FHs, Pike-cichlids, Salvini, Red-headed, Convicts, Jewels, Acaras, Carpintis, as well as a variety of catfish that should be TOO BIG TO SWALLOW due to their spines posing a threat to anything capable of eating it.....or anything that "believes" it is capable of eating it.
