I have a fully cycled 37 gallon aquarium. Right now it has 1 male Firemouth, 3 clown loaches (they are small and I know I will have to get rid of them but they grow slow and the person who gave me the tank gave me the clowns).

I want to know what some good tank mates will be. I was thinking about either:
1. platys/ swordtails as they are from the same area and the fry could be good food.
2. A convict cichlid and a female Firemouth or other cichlids.

I love the FM and would love to hear about other New World cichlids I could put in there. PH is high: around 7.8 and water is fairly hard.

a convict cichlid would get along fine , maybe you could get a pair of Kribs (Kribensis).
