Ohh boy... well...First off you will be getting a lot of posts telling you your tank is over stocked. I usually don't chime in on those, but in this case I feel it's warranted. Your tank is capable of supporting either:
one oscar (and that's pushing it)
or
one pleco (again that's pushing it)
or
a breeding pair of convicts
or
a breeding pair of red devils.

Please note that I said or not and. If any one of those cichlids decides to breed then they will kill all the other fish in the tank.

With that said, you're best bet is to get rid of all the fish except for two convicts. Your tank is perfect for them to breed in, which they almost certainly will as soon as you remove the other fish, and give them a little elbow room.

I certainly hope this is a joke, because that is insane.

If this isn't a joke, he deserves to be charged with Animal cruelty.

Regardless of the validity of the post, the fact is even one oscar with any tank mate of those kind in a 55g is at the edge, I would eliminate all but the one oscar or keep the two red devils, as mentioned before (by eliminate, I mean donate\refund if purchased recently\sell\give away other fish). So that being said, it is hands down agreed upon that you are heavily, heavily overstocked, and thats why we have to question the OP. You know what to do, upgrade BIG or keep one oscar or the two red devils.....just do something quick.
