Not any cichlids. GBR and GR's do well, as do Kribs and others.

Try and do some fancy plecos. You could go for meat eating plecos (Not like vicious. lol. Like mussles, prawns, blood worms, mysis shrimp, etc.) Some nice ones are L- 66, L-260, L-333, L-400. You could try some L-134, which eat vegetables and some meat. L-134's are beautiful. For mostly vegetable eating plecos, you could try a royal pleco. They grow up to 5" pretty quick, then will grow about 1" per year after that. L-191 will only grow a little under 12".
