A Rokteil pair, actually.

 Wills helped me out with a sev stocking a while back.
 
That would work, right?
 
 
For some reason I earlier thought this was a much smaller tank...got it confused with another thread probably.  My apology there.  Anyway, yes, a pair will be fine in your 90g.
 
My earlier caution still stands though, about other fish; these should be comparable in size, as otherwise they will likely get eaten especially when the cichlids are spawning.  Hatchets, rams, probably even corys are out.
 
Byron.
 
Yes, those smaller fish were going to be excluded.
 
What about a pair of kribs with the rotkeils?

I wouldn't.  Kribs are only 3 (female) or 4 (male) inches, and I can see them being a meal for an 8-10 (maybe 12) inch severum.  Especially when they spawn and are extra protective.
 
On a more general note, I tend to avoid recommending combining cichlids regardless; but having said that, sometimes it can work.
 
Could anything go with the sevs at all? My first few sev stockings said that I could combine fish with them.
 
AHHH, I am the most indecisive fishkeeper, EVER.

Sevs are a no go, we're going for an angelfish tank.

Woo hoo! Angel tank!
 
Yays, no expensive online fish shipping :lol:

Soooo....
BEHOLD. The question.

Would this stocking work?

I've taken the number of angelfish down one to seven angelfish, and decided on no cories.
Soooo...

7 angels
3-4 Rams, unsure of type. Either Blue or Bolivian.
???? Hatchetfish, maybe 10?
Dad wants a pleco, so..

Bristlenoses seen to be the most heat tolerant. I could go for the maximum BN temparature at 80F and keep Blue Rams, or I could go with a cooler tank at 78F and keep Bolivians. I think the cooler tank the BN would appreciate, but the mom wants the glorious colors of the Blue ram. :/ I have some convincing to do...
