Of the cichlids listed, the tank is way too small for the Buttikoferi. The midevil alone will demand the whole tank eventually, you possibly could keep the Raphael with it.
The firemouth is really not suited to be in a tank with the other species you listed. The enjoy being in a group and cannot compete in regards to aggression with the other fish you have listed.

If I had the tank you have listed, I would do either a biotope focused around a pair of Andinoacara Rivulatus. Or I’d do a biotope focused around a group of Thoricthys Meeki

It’s funny because they all get along great and the firemouth is one of the most active and always the first to eat, I know it goes against everything we’ve all heard being in the hobby for a while. I’m growing them out for now before I make a decision. I’d love to find a good male green terror anyone have any good sources, mine is added a female I feel like

I think it is still working because your fish are not fully grown, and there are enough tankmates to disperse the aggression. But, the buttikoferi especially is a ticking time-bomb.
Personally I would pick your favorite fish and re-home the rest. Not likely to work once you thin out stock, with less distractions the underdogs will take a constant beating. And if you don't thin out, the tank will become overloaded with waste as they grow and maintenance will become unmanageable eventually.
The Devil is nice, if it were my tank I would keep him and sell off the rest.

I’d keep the devil. You have a really nice one, so I would say he’s the way to go.

Maybe its just the pic but that texas looks beat up on his side. I would keep the midevil also. I like texas cichlids and jd’s and have both but I really want to get a red or red orange midevil in one of my tanks. I like how they contrast with everything else.
