x4 silver dollars (try finding fasciatus or maculatus those are super cool but hard to find)
x5 clown loaches
a pair of senegals or a pair of delhezi bichirs or maybe one of each
BGKF Black Ghost Knife Fish are really cool
Silver dats are nice and stay max out at a good size for your tank
Maybe a group of Leopard Ctenopoma?
A group of Geophagus species are super cool. Satanoperca Jurupari are nice.
A group of Pink Tailed Chalceus? There is the yellow fin and pink fin, your choice.
And don't overlook plecos. Some are really worth keeping. Maybe try a phantom or a snowball pleco? Not too bad on price, active, get a good size, and super nice.
What about a lot of rocks or driftwood for a fire eel or tire track eel? Super nice fish if active.

If you're looking for non-cichlids, the ones listed have got me lovestoned.
They all should be compatible so maybe choose a maximum of 4 species depending on grouping or singles.
I'm just thinking if I had your tank right now haha.
I hope my suggestions interest you! Good luck!

Great suggestions! Its soooo hard to decide! I am a color fiend (and an artist, imagine that) so I really like cichlids for their bright colors, but man, I wish they would work in a community. Im trying to research some larger fish that might be able to co-exist with cichlids, and a couple of your ideas may just work out!
 
A SHARK! ... A Majestic Flowerhorn ? :D :D :D

Thanks! Yeah I bet! Must be fun though! :)
An artist must have a nice setup coming!
I'm glad I can help a little.
Make sure to post pictures when it's all set up.
I'd love to see the fish and the tank!
 
Get 100 neon tetra depending in how you look at it, could be a monster
