               Are they all in the 55 gallon together? (Not trying to sound rude but giving advice) That is Way to much in a 55 gallon together, even though the fish are small. An oscar needs 55 gallons to themselfs, even though most people say even 55 gallons is to small. Same goes with the Green Terror, 55 gallons or bigger just for themselfs. plus your convict will need 30 gallons. Africans (I would say on average) need 20-30 gallons. Although you will have things like yellow labs that need 10 gallons per fish and kennyi that need 40 gallons.

                  Sorry about all of the fish tank size but you get my point? They willl need alot more room then that when they are full grow. Again Im not trying to sound mean but just trying to give facts.

                 Welcome to World cichlids, one you get your planted tank up and running dont forget to post some pictures of it, and maybe while you are at it post some of the ponds  .

Again, welcome to WC!

Hi, and welcome! You remind me of me! Not enough room, but want everything at once! Ah, but patience is a virtue!
(but it's sooo hard!!!) lol well, good luck with that setup, but you had better hurry or you might not have anything left but an oscar!!

[andrew11]

Well I took everyones advice and tryed to slim down the fish amount in my tank.  I gave the fish to LPS     I no longer have the convict, 1 livingstone, Green Terror in the tank.  Im upset I dont have the money to buy a huge tank but with College,  and all that good stuff its hard.
