I'm looking for some really colorful cichlids that can go with the following.

Heros Notatus Severums
Three spotted earth eaters (Satanoperca daemon)
Two spot pike cichlid
Chocolate cichlid
Rapheal catfish
Red tailed Chalceus
Tiger silver dollars
Black bar silver dollars
Snow ball plecos
Spotted Columbian pleco
Black ghost knife

And coming soon, in like 5 years when I get a bigger tank

Freshwater rays
Kelberi peacock bass
Blue Arowana
(Geophagus Winemilleri) earth eaters
Jaguar catfish
Lima Shovelnose
Rainbow wolf fish

So any options? I'm not looking for another cichlid that's NOT in the earth eater family pike, or peacock bass family. Anything I've never heard of that's rare is appreciated. :D
 
What size is the tank now?
75 gallons but I'm giving my chocolate, pike, almost all my Chalceus except one, my two black bar silver dollars and all of my striped Rapheal cats except one to a friend of mine who has a larger tank with a baby Ray in it who can keep the fish I'm giving him. In about five years I'm going to be getting a 500 gallon and I'll have all the stock listed above. But once I give the fish to my buddie this would be my stock.

Here is a pic of it, and it looks dirty but it's actually the tannis in my tank from the peat extract I put in, and I test my water weekly it's always perfect.
