That's right, I scored a 38 gallon tank, stand, fish and everything needed to go with it but I think the lady who gave it to me has it way overstocked. She told me that the tank had mostly ciclids but she was not too sure of the names. Here are a few pics of some of the fish. There are more hiding in the tank and if they cooperate, I'll get some more pics up. Thanks again in advance everyone.

Wow, some of those get big! Thanks for the help! Anyone know anyone who wants some fish!?!
I have 4 of those parrotfish I would like to see go and one of that tinfoil barb.

Thanks so much for all the help so far, just a couple more. With the names and all the looking on the web I can see that this tank is seriously overstocked. Here is the list of fish in there......I did not put all these fish in here, they have been in the tank for almost 3 years now according to the woman who gave them to me.

2 Anglefish
2 yoyo Loaches
2 Red Rainbowfish
4 Parrotfish
1 Tinfoil Barb
1 Convict Ciclid
2 Lake Kutubu Rainbowfish
1 Gold Severum
1 Green Severum
4 Bronze Corys
7 Clown Loaches
1 Pleco
1 Catfish, not sure of type yet

All these fish, some which are fairly big, are in a 38 gallon tank. Can anyone suggest a good tank set-up from what I have in there now. I would like to get rid of some of the bigger guys if possible.
 
Keep
2 Anglefish
2 yoyo Loaches
2 Red Rainbowfish (add at least 3 more)
4 Bronze Corys
1 Pleco (depending on which one it is)

get rid of (ask lfs to take/buy/swap them) the rest
 
If I have half a brain in my head, I would say that the un-identified catfish is a Pim-Pictus catfish. Here is a photo of one of mine

and you can find out about them here.

The second catfish (DSC_2428_4_1) looks like a Porthole Catfish to me.

EDIT: If it is a Porthole Catfish, they get about 4" and like to be in groups of 4 or more. Very peaceful, but also very timid.
