Cichlids and planted tanks

[mom2reds]

I have a 75 gal. planted tank, soft water. Eco complete substrate. I have always had tetras and live bearers in my tank and I am kind of board with them, I want larger fish and really like the cichlids but can I have them with plants. I am not realy wanting angel fish if possible. I was told maybe a red jeweled cichlids and some barbs and or roselin Sharks. What do yall think. I am very open to suggestions.

I know nothing about Jewels, but the larger CA/SA I do and they will most likely uproot/rip apart anything you plant.

I tried it twice and both times the tiger oscar destroyed everything by himself
