Relatively peaceful Cichlids

[Sundew]

I have a mixed fish S. American tank with Juruparis, Rainbow Cichlids, and Severums plus some Silver Dollars, one Red Hook, Raphael Cats and a Silver Arowana. The fish have been together for about 2 years and I was wondering what other cichlids might go with them that are not too aggressive. Would rather have species that do not destoy or eat plants down to the roots as eventually the fish will be moved to a larger planted tank (except the S.D. and R.H.)

Thanks

Adult C. Moronii... They generally in my experience stay mid to bottom and sometimes breed like Convicts but with the aggression of say a... Silver dollar.. And only attain a max size of 5" and that is a LARGE male... Or..... hhhmm hold up

I saw some of these locally (about 3") but I get different info on their agressiveness, some books say peaceful gentle giants, others that they use their size to bully everything. Is this just individual fish or bad info?
