getting a 55 gallon tank which will have a firemouth cichlid, blood parrot cichlid, rubberlip pleco(max size 5 inches), red tailed shark, and 6 tiger barbs. What would be another medium to large sized cichlid that could get along with these fish? or have I already reached the limit for number of fish?
how about if the parrot was removed from the tank? then could i have a jack dempsey? I know that a jack might cause problems for the tiger barbs lol but aside from that, would a jack work instead of a parrot?
 
You'll be fully stocked at that I'm afraid. The Firemouth, Blood Parrot and Red Tailed Shark will dominate the tank, there won't be any territory room left for another Cichlid.

Shane - the Electric Yellow is an African Mbuna, entirely incompatible with South American Cichlids like Firemouths.
