Really depends on your goals here. If it were me, I'd lose the platies and stock it with about 10-12 L46 zebras. But thats just me

Lol. True. It's taken me about 30 years to start my l46 breeding project. But seriously, if you want to try cichlids and keep the platies, maybe look into rams. Small, colorful and not so common. Water parameters could pose a challenge though.
If you are breeding only for money I would just say skip the fish and get an additional job. It's probably best to devote your breeding efforts toward a fish you already enjoy and understand. Breeding certain high dollar cichlids requires lots of tanks, time, food, and work.
I was actually thinking rams before I got this tank, but my only problem is I'm not sure how to find a pair to breed, any idea's?
buy 6-8 fish and let them pair naturally. Return the rest for store credit. You should get at least 1 pair, possibly 2. Apistogramma (dwarf ciochlids) would make a good option as well
