American Cichlid Advice

would it be wise to have a make and female electric blue acara, a male and female blood parrot, and two pairs of rams?

They’ll be in a 125 gallon with lots of hiding places and bottom feeder tank mates.

I understand spawning aggression but would it otherwise be a good idea?

Would it be a good idea? No. Is it doable? Yes. The rams might get bullied. EBAs can run the gamut on aggressive and peaceful

My EBA is very peaceful, if anything he gets bullied by the blood parrot. They don’t mess with the rams but the rams will chase and try to nip at the blood parrot, he doesn’t even notice usually

Well you might have some luck then. Time will tell really. As long as there's hiding spots and rocks that break up the sight lines you should be ok
