So I just ordered some Nicaraguan cichlids from this website that had them for a pretty good price. I was extremely skeptical but they had a huge variety of fish and I felt that thier information and website was very good. The origninal plan was to have a pair of nics and a pair of flier cichlids but since fliers produce way more and much more often than nics I felt I would run into problems so I want to keep just one pair in that tank to keep it simple. So I am taking 3 of my 4 flier back to the LFS and getting some new fish. Here's the redfined stocklist please give me your opinion on it.

1 pair of Nicraguense
1 Flier cichlid
1 cutteri cichlid
2-4 sailfin mollies

and im trying to get sajica too but we will see with that one.

I want to keep the stocklist as simple as possible without cramming a ton of fish in here. Do you think this will work well? They are going in a 29 but once I give away my africans, I will put them in a 55 and then I will move them again to a 75. Although I might just keep them in the 29 before putting them in the 75 but we will see how the aggression is.
 
Sounds a little small especially if the Nics pair up as they can require a bit of tank space and they do grow to a fair size. Stocklist is cool but maybe in a 75 minimum ?

The stocklist is for the 75 gallon which will be thier eventual home. Do you think the nics will be too much for the other fish in that size tank? Should I just go with nics? I read nics hold fairly small territories and aren't as aggressive as other CA cichlids so I thaught it might work.
