11 big Cichlids is too many in even a 180. Especially in the long term. I wouldnt recommend mixing south and central americans, its a different kind of aggression and they deal with being confined in different ways. They also have different water requirements with the Souths prefering softer water and Centrals prefering harder water. Depending on your water type it likely means one group will always do better than the other in terms of health and growth. You also have some temperature conflicts too with centrals prefering slighly cooler water to souths, if fish are kept in water too cool or too warm for too long you will reduce their lifespan and with fish like cichlids that are capeable of living 10-15 years its important to get right.
When ever we see people mixing souths and centrals here it always ends badly (myself included). Depending on your type of water I'd go for either;
If you have softer water
1 Oscar
1 Female Green Severum
6 Geophagus sp. Red Head Tapajos
6 Striped Silver Dollars
I think you would have space to add some other non cichlid species in there too like catfish, headstanders or other schooling fish maybe Columbian Tetras or Silver Hatchet Fish? I'd get the Oscar last preferably in a couple of months time once the other fish have had size to pack some size on otherwise there is a big chance the other fish will get eaten... happened recently to an other member.
or if you have harder water
1 Jack Dempsey (I'd probably go for a female too as Centrals cross breed very easy - I'd also go for a EBJD rather than a regular but thats personal preference)
1 Female Convict
1 Female T-bar (could be a bit close to the convict so you could get some targetted aggression)
You'd probably be ok adding 2-3 other female cichlids which in Centrals is pretty cool as some of the girls look better than boys with things like Nicaraguans, Salvini being top of my list.
Building a central american biotope like you can with the Souths is difficult because not much else than the cichlids and live bearers are regularly imported. But on harder water there are other options, barbs or rainbow fish are viable replacements for the Silver Dollars and for some other levels of activity Synodontis Catfish would work nicely too - robust enough to live with them, interesting patterns and similar water requirements.
Got to be honest I've been dreaming of the central tank I've described for a while now so I am slightly biased towards that one
But it depends on how hard your tap water is.
