Of the four only one has a mouth that doesn't move. One's mouth moves some, and the other two can move their lips.

You have a full tank with that list...remember the severum's adult size will be the deciding factor.
Alright, any thoughts on tetras I should use, I'm looking for a schooling fish that will work with the aquascape. How would black neons do with sevs? Also, there seems to be a cookie-cutter guide for 75s and the guide on that suggests 2 severums 1 blue acara 8 giant danio, 5 boesmani rainbows, and 5 banded rainbows how come that suggest around double what I have?
Not sure where you got the 75 cookie cutter stocking guide from but it sounds pretty heavy to me. I would say your stock list of 1 sev, 6 rams, and 12-14 tetras sounds good and I would leave it at that. Although black neons are a bit larger than regular neons they are still torpedo shaped and they will possibly eventually get eaten by the sev. Lemon tetras would look nice or maybe some diamond tetras.
Given how big severums get I wouldn't do two in a 75, mine is around 8 inches and for his activity level which is mid I couldn't imagine anything bigger. He probably will get a bit bigger though so I have an upgrade planned.
For the plants the classic indestructible java fern would probably work.
For the tetras I would go for 1 of the round type like columbiams or serape a similar they have less chance of getting munched.
The suggestion of a few cories is goo too, I'd look into it.
Generally the cookie cutter suggested stock lists aren't very good IMO, they seem to pick boring fish randomly based on size or colour, not compatibility.

Might be a little late but the pandemic kind of ruined everything for me, couldn't really go out to get new fish so I'm still stuck with just the 1 sev 3 pearls and 2 bolivians.
Was doing more research and now thinking about either
Firemouth cichlid group instead of Bolivians
Maybe angels
Lowering the amount of tetra group and only keeping one school
Removing the pearls
Any ideas?

I would replace the pearls with 2 EBA and get 1 pictus and call it good... with that small of a tank that stock will fill out nicely without schooling small fish.
