A realistic size of 6" would probably be fair as a maximum.
Peaceful: Angelfish would be fine, so would Festivums which are not likely to get to their maximum quoted. Discus unlikely as best in groups, but not impossible in a smaller group. Keyholes would have more than enough room.
More Aggressive: Blue Acaras are quoted up to 8" but I would say that is exceptional so they would probably be ok. Bandit cichlids are like a more colourful and interesting version of the Keyhole, they would be good.
A few examples there.

Bandit cichlids, aka Guianacara species, do best in groups and are not very commonly found. I personally wouldn't do guianacara in a tank under 4 get due to their grouping needs

That is a really interesting shaped tank.
Are we talking about a single specimen alone? While the tank is only a little over 3ft long it is almost 20" deep.
I would be willing to put a single Aequidens rivulatus in a tank like that.

Currently a community tank but just thinking about future options. Thanks for the input.
Odd how as a semi experienced FW aquarist I get replies, though in the salty section as a noob I find it really hard to get anyone to respond.
