too many fish?

I got a 56gallon tank. In it are 3 red zebras, 3 colbats, 3 yellow labs, 3 giraffe cichilds, 2 johannis, 1 rainbow shark, and 1 snail. Is my tank overstocked, would i be able to get more because i know that you want to slightly overstock with cichlids.

The 3 Nimbochromis venustus themselves are way to much for that tank.

Agreed. Re-home the nimbochromis venustus trio (the 'giraffe cichlids'), those can attain 10" in length or more.

You could then add one or two more to each of the remaining cichlid species species.
