you could do a convict or more firemouths. something small 6" and not to aggressive. But make sure it is cycled.

Convicts and Firemouths NOT TO AGGRESSIVE you say. I have seen my 4" male beat the crap out of my 7" male jag.
Also i had a pair of cons that actually beat up a 10" midas male.
These F...... are nasty!
