Haven't given much thought about new fish but I may be going to the aca convention and wouldn't mind having a wish list of cichlids that I won't find in a lfs. I am curious as to what you all have kept with similar stock. I'm thinking something around 10" or 2 around 6" My existing setup is:

125g - (2) fluval 405 with 3 trays each dedicated to bio and purigen for chemical
2 - sd
2 - common pleco
1 - jurapari
1 - nic
1 - ebjd
3 - geo red caps

Maintenance - weekly 50% wc and monthly diatom
 
if i were you id get rid of the jurupari and add 3 more red heads and ditch the common plecos for maybe 2 BN plecos. as for a large cichlid id add either a severum or 2 uaru
 
I've been tossing around the pleco idea for a while but I'm always paranoid they'll go to a bad home
