How many South American Cichlids in a 70 gallon?

[Remic243]

Hey there, I'm selling all my African Cichlids and getting South American. Right now I have an Eartheater, male & female convicts, and male and female blood parrots. I want to add 2 firemouths and some rams. Would this be alright?

-Also, what decorations are the best for South Americans?

I think the convicts and firemouth will be ok depends on the species of geo. and as for the ram it probably will get killed.

If the convicts breed they may take over the whole tank and kill the others. Not sure what kind of earth eater you have, but most are peaceful, and not as aggressive as CA cichlids.

Rams wont work others will be ok.
