The tank seems to have plenty of cichlids, but if you can find a group of botia modesta, they should work quite well. They may also be called yellowtail blue botia. They're tough as nails, aggressive with each other, and super active, and get to be a nice size for a 75.

Schweet, they look like they are good sized and seem to have colored up quickly.
Very thoughtful of you to provide photos for our viewing pleasure!
