Beginers Question - Which Is Best?

[minkymaid]

Oh! bit lonely here as the only message.... hope someone finds me...

Looking for advice on a cichlid for my community tank - I have 4 pearl danios and 4 sterbai corys in a planted 96litre tank at the moment. I'm trying to decide on my middle tank layer, is it to be livebearers, or something else. So I have been thinking about cichlids. My local shop regularly stocks kribensis, double red cockatoo something or other and bolivian ram, I think they've also had green kribensis too. I know that cichlids can be bossy, but which of these would be least likely to cause grief and hassle for the corys and least likely to nick their food? Do they like the same food as corys? I hope to be able to squeeze i some tetras for middle tank interest too. Do you think that cichlids would really be feasible in my tank or is it havoc waiting to happen?
Agh! questions questions!

Bolivian rams from those three but if you can find Laetacara dorsigera or curviceps they are easy & peaceful.
I suggest you lokk at pentazona barbs for some lower/mid tank interest.
One pair of small cichlids & five pentazonas would bring the tank up to fully stocked..
