Here is going to be an absolute minimum tank size list. I have collected information from other forums and sites, hope you like
New World Cichlids
AngelFish - 20-30gal, is the absalute minimum, no lower then that, and the tank hight has to be 18 inches or higher because if the long fins of this magnificant fish.
Covicts-At least a 10g for one and at least a 20g for a pair. Convicts max out at about 6"
Dovii-The wolf cichlid. One of the largest and meanest...at least a 180g is in order for a single male specimen.
Demon Fish - 75gal for the bare, bare minimum
Discus - 55gal or higher is needed for a small shoal.
Dwarf Cichlids (i.e rams)- for one a 10-15g, for a pair a 20 gal is the minimum
Festae-If you have the true Red Terror then a 75g is needed.
Firemouths-20g long single or pair
Flowerhorn-It truly depends on what strain you got it and whether or not it's a male or female. If it's a female at least a 55g for most. If it's a male then you MUST get a 75g.
Green Terror-At least a 75g, Green Terrors can and do get up to 14"
Jack Dempseys-At least a 30g for and a 55 for a pair. However, Jack Dempseys do take a while to grow to 8", some 10"
Jaguar Cichlid(Managuense)-No matter what you're gonna need a 75g, if it's a male I would say a 100g is going to be needed.
Midas Cichlid-ABSOLUTE minimum is a 75g, 90g are preferred as pure Midas tend to get up to 14"+
Oscar-75g IS THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM!
Peacock bass - If you get a Ocellaris or Monoculus you must have at LEAST at a 240g tank waiting.
Rainbow cichlids-20g Long for a pair or single
Red Devil-75g is preferred...they max out at around 12". If you have a female you possibly could get away with a 55g.
Severum-30g long (3 foot) for one, 55g for a pair
Texas- A 75g. 'nuff said.
Trimac - These get big and thick. A 75g is needed.
Uaru-same as severums
Uro(fake red terror)-A 55g is a must.
