looking into, except for the eel, my mom has a no "no eel" rule, they
creep her out lol.

With good conditions convicts will breed about every couple of months.
Some other fish I used to have in my big tank were Convicts, Texas
Chiclids, Jack Dempseys, Large Black Sharks, Firemouths,Jewel Chiclids,
Clown Knife Fish, and a large Leopard Eel. My catfish of choice was a
Marble Shovelnose.

Everything there is good except the bala sharks and redtail, bala sharks
are non aggressive, and red tails won't be big enough

oh ok then, so a

3 convict
1 JD or 1 oscar
1 texas
and some other larger cichlid

would be a good set up?

Depending on the size your gonna set up, I'd start with 2 convicts(the
3rd will cause problems) 2 Oscars, do like one albino and one red tiger,
2 JD's, and 2 texas. Of coarse you'll need a scavenger of some
type,(Pleco, Channel Cat). Try to get pairs on the cichlids, they'll be
happier that way.

well i was thinking about pairs, but the problem i thought would be is
if i got 2 male, wouldn't they always be constantly fighting? if i got
2 females it woudl probably be ok and if i got a male and female
that'd be fine.

The only ones you won't be able to sex are the oscars, all the others
can be sexed by the length of there dorsal fins, and two male oscars
will be ok together

they're young.

Fishing From the Seawall

I acclimated to accept a 125 gallon alloyed south american chiclid tank. A lot of these angle can be mixed, but accomplish no aberration even a 55 gallon tank is not that big to these fish. I apprehend that you accept gouramies with your chiclids, unless there ample gouramies they will eventually be outgrown by your chiclids. Bala sharks are not an aggresive fish, they may be afraid by beyond fish.
