Ok, I've have a pretty successful 46 gallon semi aggressive community tank for a while.

So about a month ago I set up a brand new 75 gallon long with the tentative intentions of housing african cichlids....since then I've changed plans about 5 times.

I keep doing endless amounts of research and it's hard to get answers on compatibility unless you give someone exact examples.

My hopes are to house 5-10 larger fish rather than more smaller fish.
My question is this...

After reading the following list can any of you tell me if this combination of fish could work in my 75, and if so, which of the follow can I have more than 1 of.

Electric Blue Jack Dempsey
Green Terror
Firemouth
Elliotti fish

5 tiger barbs (these would be my cycling fish. If they wouldn't work, what fish should I use to start and cycle?)

Granted, I kno personality of fish can vary, but generally could these species work together, and how many of each could I have in my slate rock decorated 75 gallon long?
Any other suggestions of combinations are appreciated.
I want big, color, and variation!

Thanks, I'm sick of my empty tank!
