I have a 125 with some bichirs, and catfish. I have a turqoise sevrum in another tank, and wondering what some tankmates for him could be. Cichlids, not community. I have 2 gouramis with him also

I have uarus chiclids with my sevrums. I have 2 red and 2 green with them. Then again they are schooling chiclids

I think he was talking about the uaru. IME as young they do hang out in a group (not really a school, like tetras or other true schooling fish) but as adults they often break off into pairs and there can be a bit of aggression (fairly mild, usually) between them. They are neat fish and make good tankmates for severum and bichirs. I'd also consider other south american cichlids like Geophagus Spp.
 
Other options are Festivums and Chocolate cichlids.
