isnt that overcrowded?

no there really isnt any cichlids that can live in a 10 gallon. most will grow well over 3 inches long

i wouldn't say so. males only get to 1.5 inches. i am not sure on the sexes yet because they are pretty small. but i think i got a male and two females.

cool. are they tough to get? expensive?

i paid 10 bucks a piece, they are super easy to breed. all you need is sand and shells. if your lfs has a decent selection of africans i bet they will have some.
