In stocking a 46 or 55 gallon tank, what tankmates would work for an Acei that are not other cichlids?

I was considering a stocking scheme like this:

Acei
School of Barbs
RTS
Bristlenose Plec

Does the Acei need to be in pairs? I know cichlid "aggeression" is on a whole new level than other fish, but since the Acei is pretty tame, would it work in this kind of tank?

As far as I know, african cichlids need to be kept only with other africans.

Malawi mbuna do need to be kept with only mbuna. However you can get a sy anotis (sp) catfish which is from lake malawi, I do have bushynose plecos in with mine but I wouldn't recommend it for others.
