At only about 35 gallons, you still have some room in the tank for a few fish but not very many. I would add the DGs and wait a bit while watching your chemistry before adding in the Agassiz cichlids. That way if you are approaching a full stock you will see the build of nitrates causing larger water changes before you get into trouble by overstocking. Whenever I am not certain about a new stocking level I try to take the increase slowly so that I can make adjustments along the way. I never trust any stocking rule or any calculator when I feel that I am getting close to the limit. Each tank and situation is unique and the unique properties are never taken into account by any thumb rules or calculators.
