I have a 54G Bowfront corner tank and I have read that you should put less fish in them than say a "normal" 55G rectangle tank, but I can't find anywhere that says how much less. This is what I currently have in the tank

1 Cutteri 2"
1 Keyhole 2"
1 Buffalo Head 2.5"
1 Rainbow 2"

6 Danios for them to chase around.

My question is should I stick with just these, will this be too much fish when they reach adult size or can I add another similar sized cichlid to the mix?

I think you have room for twice that many fish
at least

That is great, looks like I will be making another trip down there soon then. Any suggestions on what to go with my current inhabitants? I was thinking about an eartheater as a possibilty.

we just got in a tank full of Red-hump eartheaters - I think these would be a particularly good match to your fish.
