You could add festivums or keyhole cichlids, but i'd watch out for the jewel cichlid, i hear they get aggressive.

For good stocking help www.cichlid-forum.com has a lot of info, there are also cookie cutters for help stocking cichlid tanks. Just do a search on the homepage for it.

The Jewel is not a SA cichlid, and I know from my own experience they were awfully aggressive. I had to return mine, they were terrible towards the other SA's that I had in the tank. At the time I didnt know they were not SA but A. Cichlids. Tho they sure are beautiful fish, they are one of the most aggressive that I have kept in my tanks. I hated to give them up but had to for the sake of the other fish.

Wow, when I had my Jewel, it was the calmest fish I had.
He was always so shy, I was actually thinking of getting one for my 55 gal. now.
