I want to add a few dither fish for my buddies (1 jag, 1 rt, 1 gt) They are about 2 inches in size in a 90 gallon tank. Any ideas?

(what about tiger barbs?) :idea:

Silver dollars work out well because they are tough, hardy and fast and make a great addition to a larger tank with new world cichlids.

A trio of silver dollars would be nice....I have seen more aggression problems when there are only 2....you may be pushing the tank limits a bit with the other stock you have mentioned, but use heavy filtration and frequent, large water changes and you should be fine...
