I was wondering if this stocking would work just curious please don't flame.

2 Blood Parrots
2 Convicts
1 Green Terror
1 Cuban Cichlid
1 Firemouth
1 Jack Dempsey

Thought it would be pretty cool agressive stocking
 
you would be overstocked. are u getting them small?
 
1 Blood Parrots

Lose the 2 bp's, and the jd, add 1 more convict(make sure you get 3 males or females). I say 3 convicts, so they will be used as dithers, that way you have a chance at keeping the gt and cuban together. They have to be the same sex, so that they don't spawn(a spawning pair of cons can be very dangerous). Just make sure you have good filtration system running, and do weekly or more wc's.

You will probably still eventually have to upgrade, or lose one of the bigger cichlids. A 75 would probably be more efficient.

This may work. Though I'd ditch the BP's and get another Firemouth or two.
 
Why not go with what I used to have in my 55g
1)JD
1)FM
1)Con
And you could also maybe add some dithers as well or maybe a Senagaul Bichir
 
You've already been told that ONE gt will max out a 55 in previous threads, why would you think that you could put a gt with several other aggressive fish in a 55? Many knowledgable people are trying to help, and so far you haven't listened to anyones advice...
