My tank is nearing completion, and I'd like to come up with an idea of what to stock it with

Here is what I have that I would like to put in.
10 Male convicts (5 pink, 5 black) 5.5.-6.5"
2 Male Jack dempsey 8-10"
3 Gold severum (I think 2 males and a female) 5.5"
5+ clown loaches (when they get bigger) 2.5-3" now
1 sengal bichir (when he is bigger) 5 -6" now
1 Green Severum 1.5-2" (when larger)
1 Vieja Synspilum (peratheraps?) 2" (when larger)

Here are some of the fish I am considering and numbers I think might work

Green Terror (Gold Saum) 1
Rotkeil Severum 1
Firemouth 4
Salvini 2
Oscars 1-2
Chocolate Cichlid 2
Red hump earth eaters 2 or
Brasilian earth eater 2
satanoperca jupari 2
long finned uaru 2
Lima shovelnose catfish 1 or
Pictus cats 3
some sort of ditherfish ( tinfoil barbs, leporinus fasciatus (spelling?) or something)

I would like to keep mostly south/centrals of low to moderate aggression, and maybe a few other interesting things if you have any sugesstions of what would go well, or if there are fish in my list that should not go together, and how many fish would fit comfertably.

Thanks
 
seems like a good list, I'd just avoid adding large catfish that could eat the smaller cichlids, as for dithers, I like the tinfoils, though they aren't new world
 
ADD DOLLARS.
maybe even some other large cichlids
argenteas zonatus motaguense possibly!
just some suggestions!
 
I think the Motas are a bit too aggressive, I like the other two, also depends what's available, will mulitple vieja species work well together?

i think they would work well, they're also beautiful lol!
 
i like the idea of the dollars, maybe a red terror he does well with my sevs and convicts in my 150

think which would work well, the Motas, or the Vieja's? Or Both
and yes they are beautiful (all)
vieja and paratheraps!
 
salvini are cool but not the nicest fish around imo (aggression wise)
