So in a week or 2 I'm getting ready to add a few more cichlids in my 125. I bought a canister filter and he threw in a gorgeous adult firemouth male and a large adult featherfin catfish. Will I be safe adding a severum and an electric blue acara and an oscar ranging from 1.5 inch to 2 inches long? The firemouth is 5 inches. Or would I be better off removing the firemouth and buying a baby one to replace him? Thanks in advance!
Introducing small cichlids with adult cichlids?

Try it with the current FM. You will see territory disputes emerge initially as as the others grow.
Okay sounds good ! I'm just worried he would rip up the small fish I have 2 terra cotta pots 2 log style caves and about 16 fake plants so hopefully thats enough to break eyesight and let them get away if he's being to aggressive.
Add all 3 at one time (after quarantine). Don't add one at a time to decrease chances of bullying.
