Banded leporinus are cool

Don't know how well the wolf fish would do in that setup but you can always go for a bichir or two.

In the end it all really comes down to what you want, since everyone's taste in fish is different.

This tells you everything you wanna know about an african clown knife. Yes they will be fine with cichlids and pretty much eat anything....
