[StartingOscar]

If you are looking for a group of cichlids, you can do some combination of Keyhole cichlids, convicts and firemouths. They are all good choices for a tank that size.

You could do bigger cichlids as well, but that would restrict the number of tank mates. For example, an Oscar, Green Terror or Jack Dempsey with something like a Bristlenose Pleco.

You could do some Malawi cichlids if you want some color.

Try some kenyi (mbuna). Very fun to watch and very active bright blue females bright yellow males. I have those and ob red zebras in my 55 and they get along peacefully.

the oscars need 75gal min for 2. oscars have plenty of personality to be solitary (one only) in ur tank, with a pleco for extra prettiness.
mbuna come in a stuning range, google image it. or jack dempsey cichlid, one of them, or convicts or parrots or discus or severums.... the list is endless and music to an aquarists ears
what do u like?
and Big.Jon, that is a BIG kenyi in ur pic :L
