Hi Roberto!!!
Welcome to the forums.
Have you decided what tank and fish you want yet?

Well I jus started my 55 gallon cichlid tank about 6 weeks ago!...I know that cichlids pretty aggressive...but I love the colors! I have 6 lil guys about 1'' to 1'' 1/2. in the tank I had 2 iridescent sharks but one grew a nasty fungus..by the time I could do something about it was to late

  also have a pleco named Abraham! hes about 8''....and last but not least my fiancé would let me get rid of our lionhead gold fish chunk! I know its rare for gold fish to be in water with cichlids but they actually get along...its been like a month they have been together.

I'd like to know the full stocking of your tank so I know if you're overstocked or not.
Do you know what type of Pleco it is?
I know that the iridescent shark will need to be rehomed as it grows large.

I'm a little confused about the goldfish and the cichlids. Goldfish are cold water fish and cichlids prefer much warmer water.
