NICE FISH ya got there! I just added to my tank as well, a yellow lab...also working toward a 55 gal too! GMTA 
mine are in a 30 gal. right now, 6 of them, but they are small so should be fine for awhile! Are you planning on a different subtrate when you get your 55 gal.? I did change mine to sand and they absolutley love it and are SO much fun to watch!

Thank you!!
One of my Yellow Labs is also holding!! The labs were my 1st cichlids, and i love their faces!
I am planning to change their habitat to a more natural one once they are in their 55 gal. home....sand substrate, more flat rocks...... When I set the tank up originally, I did research on Cichlids, but not too much on tank habitats....so I didn't buy sand, and I originally had the thing filled with plants.
I, like you, have six in my tank too.......they'll be fine for now..
Oh---and they look soooo vibrant b/c they had a diet change, and a light change. Their light is almost like a blue-ish flourescent.....and their main diet is Spirulina...with a little Cichlid ATTACK!!! every couple of days. I also give them a piece of Seaweed Salad (i think that's what it's called) instead of their regular food once in a while. They love that stuff so much...when I go to put it on the clip in their tank, it usually gets yanked out of my hand by 2 or 3 of them that have no patience.
