Would the following be ok in a 90G planted tank.
1) 1 pair of A Caucatuoides Triple Red
2) 1 pair A caucatuoides white
3) 1 pair A Trifasciata Guapore
4) 1 pair M ramirezi rams

I definitely wouldn't mix two forms of a species together, they will, in all likelihood interbreed and, unless you are trying to imporve the strains by outcrossing them, this isn't a good idea.

Also cactuoides and trifasciata are both haremic, so might do better as trios.

How long is a 90g tank? If it's four foot long (or longer), you should be ok with three species. Just make sure you have caves in three distinct areas, so one species can't command all the caves. Try to place one group right at either end and a group in the middle, this will create three distinct territories, hopefully!
