Depends what you want :)

If its more cichlids - most of the comparable sized ones would work - Firemouths and their Relatives, Blue Acaras or most other Acaras, Sajicas or Cutteri.

A school would be nice in there - could go big and get spotty Silver Dollars or if your not bothered about keeping it just American fish you could go for a group of Denison Barbs or Congo Tetras. Blind Cave Tetra would be nice with them though or Red Eyes are quite biotop correct.

You would be okay with most larger catfish - nice chunky Brochis Catfish would be great :) Or their bigger relatives the Hoplos. Picuts would work. Or you could look at other plecs.

Quite a broad choice really just avoid any cichlids that would beat a JD - they are not that tough by standards of whats available these days - so avoid stuff like jags. veijas etc

Depends on a few things.

Are you planning on getting any pairs? Or are they all going to be single sex singletons? If you went for an all male tank I think you could get 4-5 in there

As for adding them in tomorrow - see what you find but adding 1 or 2 wont be a problem sometimes adding more cichlids at once can be a good thing as it breaks up aggression from the existing resident. But see what you think.
