sure carpintis, istlanum, bocourti, blackbelts.

Good suggestions, although I wouldn't go with the istlantum, a little to close in torpedo shape and coloration. the rest of the tall bodied species with competely differant color schemes would work probably pretty good.

My male at 5-6" is housed with my male Midas in the avatar.

I am going for T.Sieboldi.

Should be lots of mini-fights.

dither fish is my answer to stop aggression my 210g: 14" Bocourti, 7"carpintis, 7"f.grammodes, 5''m.grammodes, 5"m.istlanum, 4-5".jaguar catfish, 2-3".clown loach, 8-lrg silver dollars. very peaceful tank I can spend hours watching them.

calicichlid that is rare that you would have a peaceful tank with all the cichlids mentioned in a 210 gallon tank. I have a 360 gallon tank and have problems with grammodes sharing tank space, let a lone Istlanum...

I agree with cichlid fever, especially if they are a bonded pair, I doubt if any tank mates will be allowed to live, and they need a tank of their own.
I grew out a 1" group of 6 with some live 3-4" bearers.
The emerging pair killed all other grammodes by the time they were 3", and the live bearers, and wouldn't allow any other fish (much less any cichlids) in their tank.
