I wouldn't add any cichlids that get bigger than 6" Check out cryptoheros, they're beautiful, stay small and still have the cichlid personality/attitude.
What about peacock cichlids nice color not over 6" right but how many I'd try to get all males for color

I'm not overly knowledgeable on peacocks unforunately, I used to keep them but never with Polypterus.

My Avatar is a male Firemouth that was in the 55 with the Senegal's about 4 yrs ago with no problems maybe a little flaring up once in a while but that was about it..
The only concern would be the temperature for the Firemouths about 75 °.
