Which cichlids are suitable for a community tank with some plants?

Tank is 190 gallons.

Im looking for some cichlids that goes well with rummynose tetras.

I know of rams, apistogrammas, discus, angels and geophagus.

Are there some other species that are out there that is recommended?

Must be plant friendly and not to aggressive or predatory...

I'm not sure if there are any more besides the ones I mentioned, at least not that comes to my mind, so please share your thoughts.

I may get grief for this but i would put a Gibby pleco in. he not going to care about the other fish in tank, well keep the algae cropped in a tank that large and will take care of any left overs. he will poop ropes some what but an easy clean up.

Just a thought, I have one in my 180, and another that i move from tank to tank to clean things up after spawn fry removed, does a great job.
 
should add the gibby is 14" and the rogue is 12" , they never touch the fry when some left. will need to drop a few pleco chips in 4 or 5 times a week,
