I think you should be fine w/ a JD,GT,FM & Convict. I used to have more than that in my 55. I had a lot more than that in my 75 and had no problems... just make sure they're all about the same size...
You have a problem here.
1. You Do NOT need a sump.
2. You are not overstocked.
3. A canister filter will do fine.
4. A convict breeds with Firemouths and Jack Dempseys. Make sure they're all the same sex.

Ill be sure to get all males then, that was the plan anyways because like i had said earlier i dont really want and fry and not to mention they all look better as males. Can i still add the sump if i want to? I mean i cant see it doing harm all im gonna be doing is giving the tank more filtration and that never a bad thing from what ive been reading, it will just give me cleaner water and incase i feel like adding some other small cichlid i can. A 15 gallon sump is just gonna give me extra bioload room. I plan on having a plant section as well to help with nitrates so that should give me cleaning water as well.
