That combo won't work either.
1. A Red Terror (festae) will murder everything else listed.
2. Green Terror's are too aggressive for Red Heads
3. Hoplarchus Psittacus get a bit too large IMO for a 125g
First figure out what you want from this tank because right now it's a mix between a peaceful SA community and a Semi-aggressive cichlid tank. Can have a nice tank with a group of red heads, a sev, some larger tetras and some catfish. Or can go the other route of GT, Sev and other larger SA/CA cichlids.
But if I want the hoplarchus what fish will you remove to make it work with him?I would take the hoplarchus/texas out and that would be good. The texas is central American, prefers hard water and high pH, wheras the rest of the fish are south American and like softer water, lower pH. They are also much more aggressive than the rest of your fish.
The hoplarchus would be a good fit but they get huge, and the tank would be overstocked with all those cichlids, in my opinion.
5 Tapajos
2 severum
1GT
Catfish
Should be ok. Keep an eye on the GT because they are the most aggressive of the fish you listed.
