New to cichlids

[lifeispeachyatt]

Hi i just cycled my 55 gallon and i am new to cichlids.i was wondering if this would be over stocking it. would i need to upgrade to a bigger tank once they get bigger?? How long of a time frame would this be in??

3- 1 inch firemouths
2- 3 inch blood parrots
1- 3 inch convict
1- 4 inch texas
1- 3 inch jack dempsey

you are going to have to get a bigger tank when they get big

Especially with the JD.
And in my experiences in the past, my convict and firemouth didn't get a long. maybe a fluke, but ya never know.
One thing with cichlids is you want to keep them from the same area, don't mix areas in your tank. Ya know, South American, African, etc.
