Unless I'm mistaken, there aren't any species of pleco, cory, or other catfish native to Central America that is available in the hobby. So what (if any) species of bottom feeding fish do you house with your Central American cichlids? If you choose to answer can you also mention what type of cichlid you have?
What kinds of bottom feeders do you generally include with Central American cichlids?

Here in Panama, Chaetostoma fischeri (Rubber lip plecos) is quire common here in Panama in the east, and there are a few others.
I found the ones below in central Panama.
Sturisomatichthys panamense (whip tail cat) are found on both northern and souther sides of the Crodilla Central mountain range.
And I've been successful using Awaous banana Goby's with with not "too" predatory cichlids such as Andimoacara.
They are native fro northern S America, thru Panamaand the west Indies, as far north as the southern US on both coasts.
And of course Pimelodus cat like P chagresi, and guatemalensis.
