Hey y'all! I've been wanting to add another fish or two to my tank, and I was wondering if these cichlid options would work:

1. 1-2 EBAs

2. 2 Angelfish

3. 1-2 Geophagus (smaller species)

No, not all of these will be in the tank at the same time, I want to choose one and go with that.

Thank you for the help!

P.S. I don't want any tiny cichlids like Rams, I want something a little bigger than that.

The only one I would advise is something along the lines of a flagfish, Mesonauta sp. No Geos, no Acaras, even better no angels, although sometimes they work. Your tank is not very large. No need to add to the already very hierarchical discus.
