Giant danios or tiger barbs.

You could do convicts OR firemouths or any other smaller cichlids that dont tend to grow over 6"... Tank mates will be difficult if you have a breeding pair.

I think you might want to go with something that gets a bit larger. Anything the same size will get dominated. I always had good success keeping grammodes with cons. A lone male grammy, or even a pair in that tank, should do fine. Grammies will also keep the baby convict population down!

get 5 salvini cichlid and let them pair up.
