In my opinion, you should replace some of the plants with rocks to give the fish more territories. Interesting choice of decor though.

That's the plan. More caves. I'm in a transition.

That'll be a pretty full stock when fully mature..it doesn't look like they'll be able to fit in those little rock holes either..can't tell how big they are from the pic really.

Well I have changed my stock and setup since having this thread. I currently have 2 Marineland 350 penguin filters. One is made for up to 70 gallons. I have 2 of them running. My stock has changed as well. I currently have about 35 African cichlids in there as well as my Dempsey, Oscar, and red parrot.

I had to rehome my 4 inch Dempsey because he was eating the Africans. My 2.5-3 inch Oscar is eating some as well but not as often. The parrot is fine. I got a new .75 inch Dempsey. Oscar is the boss of the tank for now. Some of the Africans so pick a little bit but swim away really fast. Nothing really bad.

32 is way too many fish for a 60 gallon, especially with a Oscar and Jack Dempsey

I checked your threads. Your no one to give advise no offense. Overstocking Africans cuts down on the aggression level. You need good filtration and keeping up with water changes. Do some research before u comment. To many opinions and not enough facts.
