Cichlid problems

Okay here is my problem i have a 10 gallon tank and the local pet store guy said there would be no problems having two cichlids ( a red jewel and a neon jewel) a bala shark and a Pleco in the same tank. Well I quickly realized that was a big mistake and stupid I will admit. The cichlids starting taking bites out of the Pleco and the bala got ich I found a five gallon to separate the cichlids from the bala and the Pleco and I cured the ich in both tanks.

This week I will finally be upgrading to a 65 gal tank and I wondering will the other fish still have compatibility problems with the in the bigger tank and what other fish or cichlids will go well with a red jewel and a neon jewel

I don't see why the jewels and the plec won't get along, but the Bala is a social schooling much better of in schools of 5 or more plus they reach sizes of 14" so I would rehome him which still leaves more stocking options.
