I am rearranging my 135 Gallon (US) to make room for some ever growing Aggressive SA/CA Cichlids.

I am planning on purchasing a 75 Gallon (US) for the following stock:
1 Male Green Terror
1 ParrotXMidas
1 Climbing Perch Fish
4 African Electric Yellows

Just wanted to confirm that this would be a good well stocked tank.

Is there room for anything else? Perhaps an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey? Maybe bottom dwellers? Please lend me your thoughts!
 
Shouldn't mix Sa/Ca with Africans they require different Ph, (water hardness) etc.

Many species in SA, CA, and even the Rift Lakes of Africa share the same water parameters (pH etc.) Water parameters generally only come into play when one is discussing black water species.

I have no idea what a climbing perch fish is, how the others get along will depend entirely on how you aqascape your tank, and more importantly the personal behaviour of your fish. No one can answer that but you.

Thanks,

I guess my question is directed towards stocking amount. Is that going to be too cramped for these fish as adults? The climbing perch fish is a non aggressive Asian fish with lungs (I would describe them to being similar to a Bichir). Not concerned about him (hes maxed out at about 7 inches).
 
I don't see any issues with regards to stocking density, just keep in mind that stocking density is also directly related to bio load - which is determined by water changes, filtration, and maintenance of the filtration system. Again, something that only you can determine as to how that will fit into your lifestyle.
