Hey guys so I want to pick up one more cichlid for my 75g tank. It is planted but with well established plants or ones that are tied down. Right now I have a firemouth, salvini, and green terror. The largest is the Salvini around 2.5". What CA/SA would you add to this group?

I'd hold off from adding any more Cichlids for the time being. You could likely add a group of 5-8 fast dithers (Giant Danios). However, once that Salvini reaches 4-5", it's going to give the other fish trouble. The Green Terror could also end up being pretty aggressive. As for the plants, what species are you keeping? I wouldn't be surprised if they start ripping them up once they get a bit larger.
I agree that the fish u have now will change, adding more will likely cause trouble.also taking into account you might end up with a mixed pair unless you can ID what sex u have
Only mixed pair he could have would be the meeki and salvini. If I'm correct, GT are South American and won't hybridize, or atleast not produce viable fry. Sure the salvini meeki hybridization is possible but I wouldn't think it likely. Far more likely the salvini will go nuts and kill everything (I've heard they do that) or it goes long enough that the GT may.
