I have a 100 gallon and 55 gallon, Africans and South Americans.
Just purchased 15 of them and threw them in the 100 gallon tank. They seem to be doing good, but my tank is very full, 55 gallon not. Here is how I am thinking of setting them up. Please let me know if you think this will be okay.
55 gallon:

Adult Bumblebee 5"
Adult Electric Yellow 4"
Adult Electric Blue 4"
5 juvenile female peacocks 2"
Adult male Maylandia Greshakei 6"
Adult Placidochromis Electra 6"


100 gallon:
11" Tiger Oscar
2) Adult Jack Dempsey's (Males???) 5"
1) Blood Parrot 7"
Breeding pair of Green Terrors 5"
breeding pair of convicts 3-4"
juvenile female convict 2"
2 female Jaguars 5"
1 female Jauguar 10"


Any help?? Thank you so much.

That's way too much for a 100 gallon. There are a few combos from your stock that would work in a 100 gallon for life but you won't be able to pull off that entire stock list. If I were you I would stock around your breeding pair of Green Terrors. A few same sex Convicts would go well with them. The Oscar and Jags will demand too much space and territory. At the current sizes of your biggest fish, you should be able to see how this will not work long-term. I wish you the best and hope that you can sort things out.
 
also jags and oscars are well capable of eating adult convicts when their bigger,i have seen it ! ( oscar ate a 4" convict ! ) but in this size tank as already said it's way overstocked,i would keep the oscar,one of the female jags and then maybe 1 green terror OR dempsey,i suppose you could put a plec of some sort in there also so you have 4 or 5 fish
