u have a crazy mix there. for the fish sake i hope your getting your big tank soon. Honestly i would choose exactly what type of fish i want to keep, and stick to that one kind. Maybe when you upgrade you can use the big tank for african cichlids, and keep the 55 for your pleco..etc instead of mixing them.
It sounds like you need 3-55's. put the fronts, comps ,& calvus in one tank, Aren't the ventus aggressive predators? ghost knifes are a commiunity fish. Labs and peacocks would go together, I think zebras are algae and veggie eaters, auratus are aggressive and need a high veggy diet, they'll get bloat if they eat to much meat and have the wrong diet, plecos and cats could probally go with any of them. I wouldn't mix all them types of fish together even in a 180.
Dude that's a stock list x4 for a 55. The ghost knife and plecos are from South America and require different water than your Africans do. I think if you keep them with the Africans in that hard alkaline water (assuming your watching your water chemistry for the Africans) they are not going to do good in the long run and their colors will probably always be dull and faded. I really hope you get this big tank soon for the fishes sake.
