I've gotten really board with my 35. gallon hex. set up, and would like to bump it up a notch and move into setting up a slightly more aggressive/cool tank. For this size tank, would a combination of the following work?

Cockatoo Dwarf cichlid
Aggasiz' Dwarf Cichlid
Kribensis
Bolivian Ram
Any suggestions? The above list was put together from online research, but that's as far as I've gotten- what does everybody think?

not sure what your post even says..... but the tank is to small for most any cichlid except a few rams I believe. no floor space really.

would a trio of apistos become a problem if two of them became a breeding pair?
Apistos build harems. Male marks his boundary and females mark their own boundaries from each other inside the male's boundary. Females do their duties over the fry.

Apisto trio is good from my standpoint. Hatchet for way up above.
