Stocking Question?

I have a 75 gallon aquarium, I want to keep a parrot cichlid, group of geophagus red head tapajos and a group of pictus catfish also some smaller plecos with high filtration and lots of cover will these all do good together?

Update:

I meant to say True Parrot Cichlid not the hybrid

    I would not add the parrot.  They should be in a school, they get realy big and really messy and it's a lot for your tank especially if you want a variety of species.   Also, they are Frankenfish that a bred for a deformity that makes them feeble, and they should be banned!

    Plecoes do not like other plecos.  They are likely to fight at night when no one is looking.  If you can find a male and female bristlnose, that is fine, but  other species are sexually dimorphic.  and it would be a risk.

    You could likly be fine with the school of pictus, the Topajas, a pleco.  You might be able to addd one or a pair of electric blue acara.
