I have a 55 gallon with 2 rusty's, 1 metriaclima blue dolphin,1 ob peacock,2 bristlenose plecos,1 rainbow shark,3 yellow labs, 1 yellow top mbamba, 1 ps. acie, 1 pro. insiginis

Just how overstocked am i and also there is no aggression issues.:)
 
Honestly it probably be fine for a long time, maybe one will get scared into top corner , it happens.. But There will not be much room.. when every one of them is grown of corsre. 12 x 6 inches fish ...= ok for 55 with minor admitting over stock but good for aggression . sounds liek with right filtering myabe ok .. #### I would take the rainbow out of there, he will get killed prolly and will ruin it.

the rainbow actually is the most dominant fish in the tank

Hmm that may be so at the moment, but your cichlids are still growing. Later on in growth their may be a change in dominance within the tanks hierarchy. If you do choose to keep it with the rest of the cichlids just be sure to keep an eye out for any changes in the tank. You'll most likely have a cichlid in there wanting to have the throne in the tank. Ahaha goodluck
