I'm going to clear out my 55 gallon tank and getting new fish soon. I was thinking of fish that max around 6". Right know I was thinking of:
1 severum
1 firemouth
1 redtailed shark
1 convict
1 jack dempsey
I know that the jack dempsey may dominate the other fish, but would this setup work? And if it does would it be possible to add more fish?

... Now thats said I do think your fish selection might cause some problems. As you have mentioned your JD might take control of the tank. The JD will probably get about 30-40 percent bigger than his tank mates, this coupled with his attitude might cause some problems. Personally I think you would have a much more interesting tank if you had a pair of JDs(very easy fish to breed) coupled with some larger fast Characins.
And then to add a Firemouth could start some serious fighting. Then again, maybe not?
