Ok say if i put 4 firemouths, 1 green terror, 6 silver dollars and 2 blood parrots in would that be ok and are there any more fish i could put in?
why not a pair of severums instead of the blood parrots, since the parrots look out of place with regular fishes.

It might work just keep in mind when keeping cichlids that they need room. They like territory and will fight if they are over crowded. In that size tank you have a lot of options. I would try and stick with cichlids of similar temperment. The silver dollars will work for dithers. My best advise for you would be get the fish small if you are going to keep them together. Oh and shame on you for not liking Severums! Severums are one of my favorite cichlids but thats just me!
Ok this is the current plan now:
4 firemouths
1 green terror
6 silver dollars
6 tiger barbs ( i know they won't last to long)
1 fire eel
2 parrot fish
and after a bit of looking what about a texas cichlid or is this to much?

Im not sure what size tank you have in liters,but i have a 125 gallon with firemouth,convict,severum,gt,jd and an oscar with 6 large tiger barbs and they get along great,but i did have to remove the red devil he did not want to play along.silver dollars are nice might have to replace barbs with silvers when the oscar grows up.
I'd keep the firemouths just to a pair. Instead of a Texas why not look for a less aggressive species?
