welcome to MFK..figure out what fish you like the best ... at least have an idea.. then we can tell you how many and if it will work... otherwise we can just suggest some..but they may not be what you like..

what are the measurements of the tank?? that will also help narrow it down. tanks come in different sizes and shapes for the same gallonage. some can be wider, deeper, longer, octagon, corner etc....

some almost sure-fire bets would be rams, angels, firemouths, jewels, kribs, convicts, apistos, acara....you have a decent amount of choices as long as you have GOOD filtration and keep up with weekly water changes

Apistos.

Google Apistogramma sp.

What type of cichlids? south american, central american, african?

Go with a single large cichlid like a Midas

A pair of borlei's would also be nice...

A pair of midas would work, They are beautiful fish.

Not as pretty as Borlei's! Lol.

Depends on the dimensions of the tank but green terror or jack dempsey would be cool.
