Which Dwarf Cichlid

[JohnDyer]

This might be my 4th or 5th poll this week. I admittedly copied this off of another poll
http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/398144-which-dwarf-cichlid/
I've been sitting on this question for a while, but somehow never thought of a poll
Anyways...

My tank is 56 gallons, moderately heavily planted (will keep adding plants) with a cave or three. Temperature is at 77F, pH is 7.2-7.6, filter is turning 7 times an hour.
Stocking is:
7 Tiger Barbs (Will get 8th at some point)
8 Neon Tetras (Will get 12 at some point as well)
2 Male Guppies
1 Dwarf Gourami
3 Amano Shrimp
and maybe a Rainbow Shark at some point down the road as well.

Please help me choose. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks!

Bolivians! Hardy and underated for their appearance.....once settled they are beautifully coloured. I'm biased though as I have 6 of them.....great fun to watch.

Bolivians or kribs

Will Bolivians AND kribs go together in a 5ft tank? Also with 12 tigers!! Sorry, not meaning to encroach on your post matey.
I too would say Bolivians mind!!

In a word, yes.

I've heard kribs are a bit too aggressive for 56 gallons?
The Bolivian Rams in my LFS are quite tan, almost no other colors. Everyone says they color up, but looking through pictures on Google and whatnot, I still don't see it. My sense of color is limited to "bright" or "not bright" though, which is why my room is neon green

They are only aggressive when and if they breed, 56 gallons is fine

then why add them to the poll?

Because people are going to suggest it whether I add it or not, it's just that popular. As opposed to kribs, which I simply didn't think of.
