Alright so I have some fancy plecos and I would like to put a south american cichlid in with them. Not quite sure what but something not seen often. Tank is 90 gallons. 48 x 18. Plecos include:
-1 L240 vampire soon to be 3 total
-1 L114 leopard cactus
-1 L091 leporacanthicus triactis 3 beacon
-1 L27 royal
-1 L066 king tiger
-1 L106 orange seam
I need something that wont kill the plecos obviously. And something that wont nip fins. But I want something that catches your eye as you walk in the room. Let me hear some suggestions!!!

I know most firemouths can be pretty chill. The also have real nice reds and blue spangles once they mature so that could be a possibility? Although they are not exactly rare. Green terrors ( in my experience) have never really messed with plecos. Nothing out there really a grown male gt cant compete with beauty wise.
 
What do you guys think about a vieja Argentia? Never had experience with them but a friend has one about 4 inches. Anyone had experience with them with plecos? Obviously I know they get rather large so I would rehome it once it hit maybe 10 inches since it is only a 90 gallon. Not really interested in oscars or firemouths and I have 2 wild caught GTs in another tank so not feeling the GT lol.

Argentea may kill the plecos or it may not its a toss up really

I dont really like firemouths anyway lol. Had one and just wasnt really a fan of it. But I know the vieja is not sa but a friend had one so I figured id throw it out there and see what everyone thought about them with plecos. I may be interested In central americans possibly. I dont know. Whats everyone suggest for centrals?
