So this 75 gallon tank was given to me with fish last year. I was told they were all cichlids and it was a community tank. I think I have identified a few but not all so any help would be great. They all get along but I'm not sure what they all are.

Bottom picture are oscars, there is a parrot cichlid too.

Im no expert, but those look like some South American fish with African fish... I have heard that those two ciclhlids don't mix well.

Im sure someone else will know for sure, great looking fish too.

You have all these fish in a 75g? That is s recipe for absolute disaster. The oscars can take up a 75g by themselves. You should also not mix CA/SA and Africans do to different aggression issues. Your going to have to make some choices here on which fish you keep and which ones you rehome.

Option 1 is keeping the oscars and nothing else.
Option 2 is keeping the africans and nothing else.
Option 3 is keeping the JD and Blood parrot and nothing else.
