What kind of cichlid could I add to my tank?

[phoenixsuns]

Ok recently I had to give away my 2 tinfoil barbs, they got huge and outgrew my tank unfortunatly. Id like to replace them with one cichlid. Here is what I already have.

46g tank

1 large Yellow lab
1 large red tailed shark
2 bala sharks
2 angels
1 common pleco and 1 chinese algie eater

Im most worried about the angels. The RTS is the only fish I have thats killed anything the bala's keep to themselves as do the angels and the yellow lab is a bit agressive but dosent take it far as the rts. For the most part though they all get along pretty well, Id love to add 1 more cichlid but again Im a little worried he might a meal out of the slower swimming angel fish. Suggestions?
Here are some pics of my fish and my tank:

the tank from afar, if you look in the upper left corner you'ss see the RTS latest victem (Albino rainbow shark)in the isolation tank, once I get him better he'll have to go, the rts will kill him if I put him back in.

A few things first
I'd double check on the size of your tank. judgeing by the scale on the red tail to the rest of the image. I have a 40 gallon and my adult red tail is seems smaller in tank camparison. I'm probably wrong but I thought it worth a mention.

Many people here will tell you a-at least 3 bala sharks and b-you need a bigger tank for them

the red tail, buy him a hollow log (or something similar to go with your theme), once he designates this as his territory he should settle his aggression. While you will be returning the albino (good choice as most red tails/ red fins should be kept seperate (except my 2 ) they can also be aggressive to things like rams and kribs which occupy the same space.

as for suggested cichlids, I'd suggest either a pair (group if harem breeders) of dwarf cichlids. Mainly to put a little more action into the bottom of the bottom of the tank since you already have angels and a few other mid-top level fish

well, that yellow lab should NOT be with the angel fish, nor in that tank, as the are Mbuna, African Cichlids.

Hey WRS CHILL mate. While labs ideally should be kept with mbuna there is nothing to say they can't be kept with other fish especially ones that can be aggressive themselves (angels, RTBS, other cichlids), if the tank has what it needs (which from what I saw in the pics it doesnt, but since it doesnt have a hole for the RTBS he can add a caves/structures for the electric yellow at the same time) instead of just attacking him give him a bit of info and let him make an educated decision.

Honestly, I wouldn't add anything else to the tank

The balas are going to get really big and there won't be any room for anything else.

If you can re-home the balas (and maybe the lab), then a severum or blue acara could go in there.
