46 Gallon Bowfront

I have a 46g Bowfront Tank with some live plants and a few rummy nose tetra for now. I would like to setup a dwarf cichlids SA tank. I am thinking of Apistos and Rams with a few other fish to calm it down. I have a ecoxotic led fixture, Brightwell aquatics substrate and I use RO water because the tap water is liquid granite.

Thoughts Appreciated!

My suggestion is to get 2 or 3 males of different species with different body shapes and finnage. You'll get some nice interaction between the male without the trauma of having a male try to keep other fish out of its breeding territory and a brooding female trying to defend fry - which could be a problem with Rummy-nose tetras in the tank (excellent fry predators).
