I currently have a 75G but plan to re stock
Can someone help me with some ideas.
I have a few but what to hear others.
Fishes 5 or 6" n plus
 
I've though about it. But the geos need to be in groups. I currently have a severum
He's grown bigger since I got him a couple months ago
 
What fish are in the tank currently? What do you plan on keeping?
Pretty vital information to be able to give suggestions. My vote would be colony of cryptoheros. But they would probably have to be the only cichlids in there.

I currently have 6 cupids cichlids.
1 severum
1 pleco
10 or 15 lemon tetras
3 cories
 
H. Multispinosa, Sajica which are Cryptoheros as Swami suggested. I'd really like to have a tank with some H. Labridens "Media Luna", or some Bartoni maybe.

Sajica are really great fish, though.
 
Sajica looks nice

Can I keep a male with my severum?

How many sajica can I keep in a 75G?

Is there a tighter school than lemon tetras?( even tho I may want only 2 medium size fish in this 75G.
I'm just ready for a change
 
Are you planning to get rid of the Cupid Cichlids? Those are smaller Geophagus, right? I'm not real sure about the SA Cichlids (Geophagus, Severum) with Sajica....

Would you be open to a bigger tank? A second or third tank? Do you want to raise fry if your fish spawn?

I would not add any fish to that stock unless you are going to be getting rid of what you have. Severum and six cupid's is already at max capacity cichlid-wise in my opinion.
If you want to do the cryptoheros, like the sajica, you will need to start fresh. They are much more aggressive than your current stock.
If you were to find other homes for all of your other fish, I'd say you could do 5 sajicas pretty easily in a 75, with lots of décor. One male and four females would be your best bet. You could try two males, one might kill the other though. It's kind of hit-or-miss keeping multiple pairs in a four foot tank.

Tbh not 1000% sure yet. I wanted to give away all my fishes n start over. But I feel bad cause I've had them for about 6 or 7 months.
But yes they are earth eaters
And I recently upgraded to a 75. I had a 30G before
But yes I'm might be open to get a tank for the living room
