Right now I have a 40gallon long.
7 cyprichromis
5 dwarf petricola
1 black calvus
1 caudopunk
2 ocelattus
2 bristlenose

50gallon low boy
9 adult multie
6-7 juvenile
15-20 various fry
3 julie marlieri
a few fry
1 bristlenose
4 gold head comps I'm growing out to see if I can get a pair.

Im getting a 125g, with sump
I plan to move all fish over to this one.
12-15 cyprichromis
6 dwarf petricola
2 calvus
3 caudopunks
3 ocelattus
3 julie marlieri
2 comps
2 bristlenose
Roughly 33-35 fish.

I want to keep the low boy as a multie only tank and see how big the colony can grow.

Is this stocking ok? Right now everyone gets along fine. With the exception of the dominant ocelattus which runs the 40 gallon he has killed off every other ocellatus I've added with the exception of one which I'm guessing is a female.

I would say that that is all fine providing that you provide each fish with enough territory so there won’t be disputes. regarding the dominant ocellatus i would say that with him being put into a new tank and the hierarchy needing to be re-established he shouldn’t cause any problems, you can always remove him if he is being too aggressive.
