Silver dollars & SA cichlids

[Friendly]

I just recently got a 90g tank. So far I only have 3 silver dollars, a small pleco and 6 cory cats. I really want to add some SA cichlids to the tank.

What South American cichlid do you think would go well with 3 large silver dollars in a 90g tank? Also, would large silver dollars attack or harass dwarf cichlids?

How about angelfish?

I think you would be Ok with rams. Silver dollars are not aggresive I find them very skittish. Angels would be great in that tank.

You could add 3 differnt spices of Apistogramma's and have room for spawning areas and keep the aggrasivness down. and Still have the angels.

Only problem I see is that some SA Cichlids love plants, and silver dollars eat plants.

Otherwise, silver dollars are very non-agressive and like others said skittish. They liked to play the "smash head on glass" game when I turned on the lights sometimes.
