Aggressive cichlid tank

[Sizzy905]

I'm thinking of starting another 75 gallon tank, I actually wanna get a larger one but due to limited space now since I already got a 75 recently, I think another 4 foot tank is the way to go. I want to stock aggressive cichlids in this one. I really love jags but I know 75 isn't enough for that. My lfs has some nice yellow jackets so I was thinking to build around that.
What are some suitable tank mates for a true yellow jacket.
This is what I was thinking
Yellow jacket
Green Texas
Red Texas
Convict
Red devil
I have a pair of jds in my current 75 and I might just add the male to the "new" 75 once the new stock have grown enough.
I know one way to reduce aggression is too overstock which is why I listed all these fish. Will it be too much though?
And will AC 110 for the time being be enough? I will add a sun sun 100 soon once the fish are grown more.
Feel free to add suggestions of more suitable tank mates. Thanks!

Way too much. Aggression will be chaotic. You really need a bigger tank before you go aggressive community.

Im a 75 someone is going to dominate and the rest are going to be miserable/dead

so by way too much do you mean to only do like 2-3 of those fish or only one alone?

Like 2 tops. Overstocking can work but A) it works better on a larger scale. Example, you could maybe keep 10 amph species in a 300 but you couldn't do a single one in a 30 gallon. B) over stocking is a balancing act. It's very hit or miss and you'll have to do a lot of adjusting and go through a lot of fish to get it just right.

Disclaimer, this is all through research I've done. Don't have any hands on experience trying it.

wow that's awesome i would love to see some pics if that's possible, I adore green terrors.
and how big are they all now?

 

[ehh]

Imo a 75 is only suitable for one 10"-12" fish. And you're talking about five fish that size.
And good luck only having two or three. Eventually you'll just have one owning the tank with the second and/or third fish stressed to hell.

Just skip to 0:40. I can't imagine having 4-5 fish of his size in tank that small. I don't even like him in there.
