That's 6 aggressive &/or extremely territorial cichlids. Good luck with that. To give yourself a better chance for success I'd pick a couple of the cichlids and then add dithers/target fish such as Silver Dollars, some Syno cats, something like that. Just my opinion.
 
I think it depends on what you want from your tank... do you want all aggressive fish or would you like some peaceful ones now?

You seem to have a pretty cool stock list for the moment... what size are they all at?
 
Well the size and aggresion of the fish varies from my 8" salvini who isn't aggresive to my 3" GT who is very aggresive. The nic is about 6" male and hates my oscar whos is 7" and the most aggresive in the tank.
The red terror/festae is 4" the Jack dempsey is 4" and the texas is 5" Those 3 i will be collecting tommorow
I also have some bichirs some fully grown bristle nose and a syno in the tank.
What about a blue jack dempsey and a flowerhorn/trimac or a parachromis
maybe jag or rtm or freddy
 
Nothing, you probably (more than likely) wont be able to keep them altogether for life as it is?!
 
I went to lfs today and picked up a false red terror at 2" , a black belt 3" , a jack dempsey at 1" and a texas at 2"
All's good so far apart from my oscar and senegal trying to eat them but thats it
They are all currently housed in a 150g till they need a more roomy tank
the tank contains: a false RT,GT,Blk Belt,Tex,JD,a monster salvini at 10",a nicaraguan,a severum,a festivum and a 12" O.
 
I know about the size difference so i have filled the tank with decor and lots of small caves that the O can't go in
I will post some pics when they come out from hiding.
 
Here are a few crappy fone pics i managed to takewhen they poped there heads out;
