the rams are a good suggestion, but sorry, no way is a 10 gallon tank big enough for either a salvini or convict, solo or not. apistos also a good suggestion

I agree.
 
I think the only cichlids that can live happily in a 10 gallon are african shell dwellers.

What about kribs for an African?

I am thinking about getting apisto borelli for my 10g. They like cooler temps so no heater needed.

Just look at this..

I'd go for nothing of the killer cichlid variety. Still some cool fish you can put in there though. Ummm... what is in your 55?

Well My foot and a half freshwater moray eel would rip any cichlid into pieces like he did to my saber tooth barrcuda. My other fish are 1 dinosaur bichir, 1 paroon shark, 1 rtcxtsn catfish, 4 bala sharks, 1 common pleco, and 1 hujeta gar

i think its time for a bigger tank or less fish lol, that cat can get 4-6'.
every other fish in there grows a foot or larger and will produce a huge bioload for such a small tank. what type of filtration are you using? and pics the fish?

mix does sound interesting though. how is that fresh moray doin in there? they are brackish but i have had a couple in a freshwater tank for like 8 months and they seemed to do pretty good. i took them back to a lfs after that because i was afraid they would die off eventually.
 
I have everything under control I know almost everything about these fish. Im trading the catfish in when he get's too big for like 100 dollars they sell theres expensive so they should give me atleast that much. I read where the fish I have mixed almost NEVER get along the only ones who fight are the moray and bichir. Everytime my poor little bichir goes over in front of the eels hole he dug in the ground in front of his cave he lunges out and bites him. And he tried to kill my catfish last week so we are going to have to get rid of him maybe 1 or 2 weeks. He would only be able to live in here for about 8 months like you said anyway so It does not really matter.
