Here is the tank so far:

Tank has been up about a month and a half and I haven't put together a final stock list. I know what fish I like but also realize that my space is limited. I realize that the 8 giant danios may turn into snacks eventually, but they are very active and quick swimmers. I would like to get some sort of semi active bottom dwellers and maybe 2-4 CA/SA cichlids. I am not worried about anything breeding or getting a pair. Just personable, good looking, colorful fish. I plan on adding some more stones and possibly some more wood if I can find the right pieces.

I have caught some Carpintis locally and would like them to be one of the center piece fish.

What kind of grouping/shoaling bottom dwellers could I keep in here? I'm not big on plecos, so I was thinking either a group of pictus or corydoras. I would think any geo's would get to large once they reach adulthood.

What other cichlids could co-exist with out to much trouble with what I am projecting?

Thanks.

Here's an idea:maybe try a native tank.what other fish do you catch? Bullhead catfish might be local.you can also order some natives online.your tank can operate without heat.the native section has lots of great ideas
 
I have thought about doing natives, but I see them often enough that I decided against it. Rather stick with cichlids.
