I just got my new 90g tank today, theres no fish in it yet but the fish going into it are:

1x Jack Dempsey 4 1/2"
1x Clown Loache 2"
1x Red Isletas 5" - 6"
1x Channel Catfish 4"

I want to add one more cichlid but I'm not sure which yet, any suggestions would be great! I was thinking maybe a Green Terror or maybe something else. I'd also appreciate if the fish was available via Jeff Rapps so i don't have to go searching for it! Thanks!
 
More clown loaches. They like to be in big schools and usually just hide when not in a school. Plus, careful having them in a tank w/ larger cichlid at that size. I had my school that were about 2" in my tank with my 6-7" JD and he decided to have one for lunch after like 2 months of never caring about them.
 
The Channel cat is gonna get too big and +1 on adding more clown loaches, nows a great time to too, because petsmarts got a huge sale on them
 
My JD is actually the most non-agressive of them all believe it or not! and I did plan on buying more clown loaches anyway, even though he's been alone for about 4 months and he's always out and about doing his own thing and no one minds him. so besides the loaches (already on my list to buy) what other CA/SA cichlid should i add?

My JD is aggressive with other larger cichlid but isn't aggressive towards anything else, including the clown loaches. . He still randomly just decided to eat one though after being in there with them for over 2 months. Aggression really doesn't have anything to do with the possibility of him eatin' one. My Oscar is the biggest wimp ever and eats anything he can that's added to his tank. :D
 
That channel cat definitely will not be long term due to its attainable size.
 
I know the channel cat won't be able to be kept forever, they're just one of my favorite fish and my lfs already told me that i can give him to them once he gets to big. but what cichlid should i add??
 
I don't really like cons honestly, or chocolates. I do like severums and green terrors though, how many more fish would you say i could fit in my tank with the current stock?
