I have a 55 gallon tank with a firemouth cichlid and a peacock eel and a rubber-lip pleco, as well as a school of five swordtails to provide some live food. The tank is lightly planted and has a large rock pile and pots that provide many hiding places. I was wondering what would be a good addition to this tank. I know convicts make good tankmates for firemouths but i don't know if it will be a problem with the swordtails in there as well.

Anything will do except another firemouth as I have recently had to move a female firemouth to my other tank that harassed the male constantly.

Sorry i should have specified it's a rubber-lip pleco that doesn't get as long so i thought i would have a little more space. I've edited my post to include that information.
