Cichlid As A Centrepiece In A Community

[craig855s]

Im currently stocking up a 240L community and im stuck for a centrepiece fish/pair.Stocking will be as follows

1 Common Plec (if/when it gets too big it'll be rehomed (or i may buy a 100USG in a year)
9 Harlequin rasbora
7 Rummy nose tetra
2 platies
2 swordtails
3 guppies
6 cory cats (sterbai or similar)


for centrepiece fish ive been thinking pearl gouramis or angels or a cichlid pair..can anyone recomend a cichlid species in a pair who would be compatable with the fish listed above (doesnt need to be compatable with angels/gouramis as they would be "instead of")

My tank PH is 8,sand bottomed,with some live plants,rock cave (plecs house) and terracotta pots and bogwood (Id purchase some decor to help cichlids feel at home if needed)

I like bolivian rams but theyre quite small,anything bigger that is also suitable?

i've never kept them so you'd want to ask someone with experience with them.

there is quite a few best ones would be from the apistogramma species get a pair of them and if they breed you will be even luckier
