Keep in mind that while most dwarf cichlid species are peaceful for most parts, males tend to quarrel over a territorial dispute, especially if they have a partner. Oscar fish grow at a rate of 1 inch per month. In a tank, they can reach up to 13 inches. So, ideally, you can only keep a single Oscar fish in a gallon tank. You can add juvenile oscars in a gallon tank. Severum cichlids grow around 8 inches long and pack a lot of personalities. As a result, a pair of severum cichlids will need roughly 55 gallons of water.
Blue acaras reach about 7 inches long in general. Thus, they need at least 55 gallons for a pair. They are quite peaceful. Therefore, they fare pretty well in a community tank. German blue rams are beginner fish that reach about inches long. Thus, you can add pairs in a gallon tank. Firemouth cichlids are hardy species that grow about 6 to 7 inches long. You can house a pair of firemouths in a gallon tank. Firemouths are best known for their feisty disposition.
They can be highly territory-oriented — even more so during the breeding season. Convict cichlids stay true to their name. These aggressive cichlids grow around 6 inches long. You can house a pair of convicts in a gallon tank. Raising cichlids is tricky. A year or so after that I was convinced to only add one to the same tank with the same remaining stock. This proved to be the ticket and that fish lived for many years. In my experience trets can be nasty fish and are best kept as a single specimen with other Tanginyikins of the same temperment.
If you do keep them in a species only tank be prepared with a backup plan once they pair off. Hey Mike, Never knew they where that aggressive! I was planning on doing what you did in the past, and add them with calvus, leleupis, brichardis, tropheus, etc.. No Tropheus either I'm afraid. Among other considerations they are very susceptible to bloat and must be feed a almost exclusive diet of vegetable matter.
This would not benefit any of the others you mentioned as they need a certain amount of protein. Want to add frontosa to 55 gallon tank.
Will this be okay? They are all going to be juveniles. I want to add a male and a female frontosa. Anything is appreciated! Find a male female pair as juvies is basically impossible until they get to around 4" at best Julies and leleupi depending on size could be tough on small fronts. I'm a fish herder. Like my chaps?

I would say less than six months. You need a six foot tank for the guys. They are slow growers, but these guys can be skittish sometimes and reach up to inches they need room. Get a gallon, take them back or sell them off.
