YES get rid of all those fish the butter will grow over 1' the texas will aswell and the red devil will get 15"+ a festate will get 18"+ you have a real bad mix of fish that grow huge when these fish are fully grown they will not live together at all! a 55g tank would not be big enought for any of these fish fully grown alone!

you're going to need 200 or more gallons to house those fish and even then, that's an unfortunate mix of fish that generally don't tolerate tank mates well.

You need to go into a 6 foot long 180G tank pretty soon. :)
