i'd say you're close to a full tank. narrow your Q down a bit. are you looking fr more africans, bottom feeders, etc?

whats a new world cichlid ....i have a new world cichlid tank but where is the new world? lol

New World = American (as opposed to African) so yes, it is a hybrid between two New World (American) Cichlids. And yes, the Severum is a SA species.
But people do get away with mixing the two now and then... it's just a matter of the fish's individuality and personality.
For example, Buttikoferis/Hornet Tilapia are African, but quite often (if not always) kept with New World Cichlids, as are Jewel Cichlids. Same goes for Kribs as well.
So, not to make it confusing, if it works, it works!
As for the original poster - that tank sounds pretty full to me as it is, especially with the fish still at a young size.

your tank is fulll full full but i'm ok with a lil overstocking muhaha....just ikkle bit depends on water changes? yeah so i would get a malawian cichlid......kenyi (altho there kinda agressive) giraffe cichlid (grows to big for your tank but still cute)or african peacock marble all grow to around same size 15cm personally i'd get an african peacock marble....they cost about £30 for a 7cm in england
