What size is the tank?
Whats the stocking?
Whats the filtration?

Are you looking for another cichlid or would any bottom dweller be a option?

I would go for a Jaguar catfish or Pimelodus ornatus catfish wise oor for cichlids maybe a JD. You need something fairly aggressive so it can stand up to the FM and GT

 

[Geo Dude.]

The GT is going to limit you a bit as they are very aggressive and anything that is added must be able
to stand up to the fish or be fast enough to stay clear.

Salvinis.
Nicaragua Cichlids.
Jack Dempseys.
Ellioti.
Blue Acaras.

These should all be fine in your set up or you could get rid of the Severnum and add a Texan blue to the tank.
A shoal of Corys would add some life to the tank too.

Oddball sugegstion, but how about a fire eel ?

 

[Wills]

I think they have already been said but I would get either Limas or Jaguar cats

 

[chrisrm]

would corys really work? i thought they would be too small!?

 

[chrisrm]

would 2 or 3 Pimelodus pictus work?

 

[kizno1]

would 2 or 3 Pimelodus pictus work?

Yeah. i would go for at least 3 though. Or you could go for one of the bigger types like Pimelodus blochii or Pimelodus ornatus.

i thought a few smaller fish would look nicer than a single specimen?
