[MrBennett]

Here's my first tank. Give some feedback

That is great , what type of lights do you use ?

 

[MrBennett]

I just have some aqueon fluorescent bulbs.

Also, here's what I have in the tank, thus far:

-1 Tiger Oscar
-1 Jack Dempsey
-1 Black Convict

Soon--I don't know how long I should wait--I'm going to put in more fish:

-1 more Jack Dempsey
-1 Firemouth Cichlid
-3 Pictus Catfish

Let me know what you guys think.

That tank is waaaay to small for all those fish. I would either do convicts, 2 fire mouths or 1 jack Dempsey not all of that. That tank does not have a big enough foot print to support all of those large fish to be able to claim their own territories.

What I have right now, I should add what to? A firemouth and maybe a few cats?

Add nothing that tank will not even support the fish you have in there for the long term.
