I have a 75 gallon with a pacu (I'm going to have to find a new home for), 2 scats, a clown knife, and 2 convict cichlids. I was want to add some other cichlids. I was thinking about gettin a electric yellow lab. What kinds of cichlids would i be able to put in my tank that would be compatible?
Compatible Cichlids

Even without the pacu and the clown knife (both of which grow to more than 24 inches in length), your tank is full except perhaps for a small school of dither fish to keep everyone distracted.
Also, you have Scats from India, a Clown Knife from Asia, a Pacu from South America and Convicts from Central America, and you are thinking of adding an Electric Yellow Lab from Africa? None of these fish come from similar water conditions, and the Scats in particular (although not cichlids) can be quite nippy. I'd suggest you pick one area and concentrate on that.

I compliment you for getting rid of the Pacu, but I agree with Harry. Are you trying to make your tank a "Fish UN"?
Consider getting rid of the others and sticking to fish from one continent.
Scats are acclimated to freshwater, but I think the concensus is that adults do better in a brackish tank. Why not keep your scats, find homes for the others, and over time turn the tank brackish?
Good luck!
