55 gal

1 gold severum
1 rainbow cichlid
3 firemouth
5 very small convicts

All are around 1" except the cons that are 1/2" when they are big enough to be sexed I want to remove the males so I don't end up with the breeding nightmare.

Does anyone think I will need to upgrade to a 75 gal or larger in the future?

What kind of rocks are those? I am trying to get things together to start building my tank but I don't want to pay for rocks. I would rather go find them myself.
Here is a couple still shots of the 125g Malawi tank. I'll add a video soon. :) My b/f is sleeping don't wanna wake em'.

I definitely don't have the best or coolest tank, but it's cool to me! ;-)

Thank you! And yep. Got him on accident I wanted 3 firemouths at the time, And he happened to be accidently in the tank. I didn't notice until I got him in the tank. Right now I have him. 3 firemouths 1 gold severum. And 5 very small cons. I plan on taking 3 cons out and leaving just 2 males or females depending on what ones look the best. Will I be over stocked then or could I add a few smaller guys in there?
 
Its like a game of eye spy.. I spy 2 huge plecos, what looks to be a Dempsey huddled behind the oscar, another mystery able the woods pile.
Op- this tank is seriously overstocked and basically destined to crash unless some fish are moved.

Couldn't get rid of the glare from the tv haha, this is Zephyr my African cichlid. He also has a few tank mates, a black plecko named Maxwell, who is a big scardy cat and is hiding at the back left of the tank. It also doesn't help that Zephyr Is a bit of a bully sometimes. Right now there is only one nerite snail in here, Gary, and it is hanging out on Spongebob's pineapple. Normally I have 3 nerite snails in here, Gary, Snellie, and Rock. But Snellie and Rock were needed to help the shrimps clean up the glass in the shrimp tank.
