I recommend H. nicaraguensis. Very peaceful but will hold their own if they need to.

I agree with these guys they are peacefull, can hold there own, would look quite nice in a planted set up and they would live happily in that tank. I have a female and shes quite active loves to nibble on plant roots.

i agree with the 'Nics' or chocolate cichlids

 

[TrikkyMakk]

Angels are cichlids (although not really discussed in this forum). Definitely one of the least aggressive cichlids out there, are good looking and you can stock a lof of them.

I still think JDs are good for this size tank as well.

I don't know anything about these but they are good looking fish! Some eartheaters might be a good choice too as I think they are real peaceful.

i say Nics as well. really a good lookin, colorful mid size fish. a pair with some dithers and a pleco would be perfect in a 90gal. in pic of nic pair above, male is above female. nics can be down right agressive at times

wow thankyou for all the responses

i would like to keep chocolates with Geos and sevs but obviously they wouldnt be able to live in a 90!!

so would it be ok to keep them in a 90 while they are juvinilles and they as they grow transfer the chocolates and geo's into a 125 as they grow bigger? and then leave the severums in the 90 and add like some firemouths when the geos and chocolates have gone?

Thanks
Matt

so would a pair of chocolates and like 3 pairs of dwarf cichlids be ok in a 90? Until the chocs outgrow the tank?

Geophagus Altifrons, so gentle you can have tetras as tankmates....just another suggestion

 

[Madding]

A pair of Uaru's would be my choice. In fact, they are my choice, as they're the biggest cichlid I keep beside pikes. Uaru's will munch on your plants though.

 

[Loves severums]

i would do a severum and some geos.
