Do you guys have any recommendations for tank mates for my angel fish. My tank is a 110 gal. And i have 4 angels. I would like to know what kind of central or south american cichlids I can get for this tank. That are not aggressive towards my angels.

Geos. are a good choice as tank mates for Angels. Here's a couple of pics of my fish and FTS. The veils are no longer in that tank they are my doughters and are in another tank.
Most peaceful, small-to-medium SAs will work well. Keyholes, Bolivian rams, most of the Laetacara genus, Krobia, smaller growing Geos (your tank isn't going to be big enough for something like a group of altifrons), the Biotodoma types, larger apistos that are too big for the angels to snack on... In larger 6' setups they also do well with severums, uaru, and occasionally Mesonauta.
The only Centrals I'd risk are maybe rainbows (multispinosa).

I have three angelfish in with my Oscar. Yep it is working. Karma is 3 years old. I grew out the angelfish first they are over a year old.
The fire mouth is more trouble then the oscar.

Yes Ryan is correct, most any of the smaller peaceful cichlids work. I've also kept Latacara, Krobia, Bolivian rams in addition to the Tapajos. Festavum work too in a larg tank with enough of each species they pay no attention to each other, a single festavum can cause trouble.
Ryan pretty much covered all of the species I'd recommend. With some of those (apistos, rams, keyholes) you may have to watch the aggression of the angels versus the other cichlids. A breeding pair of angels can be pretty nasty IME.
