In a 125 you can pack it up nicly depending on what type of Africna Cichlid you wanna keep. If you go with all Mbunas set up your looking at maybe 30-40 fish probably depending on the Mbuna you get because there are many Dwarf species hence forth can hold alot more! Peacocks/haps are alot bigger so you can't hold as many I'd say maybe 20 large peacocks/ haps as they enjoy lots of swimming space.
General Ratio: 1-2 inch of fish per 1 gallon(s) of water, but thats arguable with African cichlids as they do very well crouded because it reduces species to species aggression theres much debat about that, and can go in great detail, so if yuo wanna know more ask about it, and i'd love to help ya out.
good luck on yuor set up what ever you decide on

I agree. You will probably fit lots more in.
Firemouths can be hard to keep together as larger ones will bully any smaller firemouths in the tank but in a tank that size you might be lucky.
I would go for a Tropheus colony. You could get 30 in there no problem and in no time you will have a breeding colony.
They won`t eat their young but you won`t be able to add any more Tropheus of the same species once they have established a breeding colony.
You could even get two different colonies once they are not too alike.
