Nice looking fish but the parrotfish and the tiger oscar are south american cichlids and the rest are african cichlids. It is not recommended to mix the two because they require different water parameters. I'm not saying it can't be done because My first cichlid tank I raised a parrotfish and a jack dempsey with my africans and had no problems, but just be careful.
 
The yellow one is gorgeous! I love it.

When I got my tank I made the mistake of putting Convicts in with my other fish, well they of course ate everything, ripped holes in them, was horrible, then the biggest one did it to the others as well, I kept it for about 2 weeks and was fascinated by it, I think they're great fish, I had to get rid of it though so I could get peaceful fish, I would love to have a convict tank though
 
yeah.. that 55 gallon will be a good home for just the tiger oscar xD.. they want 55 gallons per fish.. which is still small! my 125 gallon wasnt enough room apparently for 2 rather large ones...
