I'm so jealous of your big tank. We just got a 90 about 6 weeks ago and already we want a 220+...

Anyways, your tank sounds similar to ours... we have a 11inch male green terror (which is very angry), and are about to get a 12 inch oscar and a large jack. My recommendations would be Salvinis, a breeding pair. They grow to about 5 or 6 inches and are bright yellow with black stripes. They look beautiful and swim together and definitely add colour to a South American tank that tends to look dark. As well, I nice Convict (especially the more irridescent Albino variety) will always find a good home with your other fish... he's hardy and will stay out of the mouths of the Oscar and Green Terror...

I'll be interested to hear what you get... :)

Don't add a breeding pair of salvini into that tank... they will terrorize those other species. I don't think you would want to have any cichlids breeding in that sized tank with those tankmates... try severum, nicaraguense, argentea or maybe even a carpinte...
