I am upgrading to a 75 gallon tank and I have a Blood Parrot Cichlid, a Rainbow Shark, and two Convict Cichlids. I am going to run a Fluval 406 Canister and an Aquaclear 110. Any suggestions for fish to add on to the current ones?

Welcome aboard

I personally would add a group of Tetra. Are the Convict a pair?
 
Yes they are a breeding pair. What type of Tetra do you recommend? The fish I have are pretty aggressive especially the Rainbow Shark who is especially territorial.
 
Do you mean as a Dither fish?
In that case could I do a school of buenos aires then acara or severum?
 
I was thinking Electric Blue Acara and Spotted Severums.



The Convict's will cause problems with the other Cichlids once eggs are laid. Learned this here Cichlids require space to live peacefully. The Electric Blue Acara and Severum will probably be harrassed.

I was planning on selling the male convict to my buddy and getting another female to curb aggression if I did that could I do a Shoal of Buenos Aires and one spotted Severum?
