What to add to my tank?

[wheatgerm]

Well the pic doesn't show all the fish but I have 2 large dicrozoster geophagus, 6 altifrons geo(medium size), 4 tapajos (small) they are all wild and just letting them grow. I also have 2 8inch motoro rays. The tank is 400 gallons.
Im looking for some other stock ideas. The geophagus are super pretty bit I would like some other mellow cichlids with tons of color to contrast the earth eaters color.
Im very familiar with alot of sp. Of fish and can't think of anything I really NEED to add. So im asking for help with some ideas I may not have thought of
Don't be shy. Thanks!

Also I would like to stick to C/S american fish, im kindof anal about mixing continents.
Discus and angles are out of the question because my wife has them in "her" tank lmao

Uaru?

Hoplarchus psittacus (true parrot) are beautiful fish when older and would work in that set up. Seems some schooling fish would add a bit of impact in the upper region. Maybe a larger Tetra like a Buenos Aries or a smaller variety of silver dollar like the spotted. Ive got red hook silver dollar in my tank and love the comments I get when people see them.

Uaru are cool fish but aren't really the contrast or pop im looking for..
I haven't even thought about parrot cichlid. That's actually would look pretty cool I think. I was also thinking of a super red sevrum?

My mistake I was thinking about the blood parrots? The hoplarchus psitticus is a very pretty fish but im wanting something totally opposite in body shape and color from the geos?

Haha well then you must understand how I feel! I need some S/A that's really colorful that wont kill my geophagus lol. Im really leaning towards super red sevrum? Someone has to think of something obvious that all of is are overlooking haha

Synspilum are very pretty. How's their temperament? And how easy are they to get?
