So i am getting a 75 gallon tank and i would like some ideas for stocking my tank. All the fish from my 30 gallon breeder is going to go in the 75 gallon. In my 30 gallon i have 1 red tailed shark,1 male convict,1 bristlenose pleco, and 8 tiger barbs. I really want a firemouth so let me know if you think it would get along with my other fish. I am mostly looking to add some other american cichlids so if you know any that will be good for my tank let me know. I will be running 2 fluval c4 filters just so you know how much of a bioload the tank can take. All comments will be appreciated,thanks.
 
I think you will be fine adding a Thorichthys meeki

Alright thanks l, so far my stock is going to be
1 convict
1 fire mouth
1 red tailed shark
1 bristlenose pleco
8 tiger barbs

Do you know any other fish that would be good for my tank( preferably american cichlids)???

You could do a pair of Firemouths easy and instead of doing the convict you could do 3 or 4 Honduran Red Points. If you aren't familiar with them I would best describe them as the less aggressive more colorful cousin to the convict.

Just for an idea my stock for my 75 is

4 x Honduran Red Point
2 x Fire mouth
1 x yellow labidochromis
1 x Green Terror
1 x Female Vieja Syns (will be re-homed if needed)
1 x Green phantom pleco
1 x clown loach
