Tank Mates for Mixed Cichlids Tank

[fab5valentine]

Hello, I will be starting a tank of mixed cichlids tomorrow and will be adding a few cory cats, plecostomus' and some same size Tiger loaches.. Any suggestions for other tank buddies? My plan is to have a good stock a cichlids to try to limit aggression.. Thanks!

I would no suggest adding cories and tiger loaches to a cichlid tank. They are soft water, low pH type of fish and will not do well with cichlids.
The pleco will be okay.

Look into the synodontis type of catfish if you want some bottom feeders.
