What cichlids in 45 Gallon tank and how many?

what cichlids are you interested in. There are lots of options and it is a very diverse family of fish. There is no one correct choice for 'cichlids in a 45 gallon'. Tank size is one (very important consideration) but you also need to sit down, have a think, do a little bit of research and decide what you like.
 
I woul'd like to have suggestions from all kind of areas of cichlids? I prefer cichlids from Africa.

You cannot mix all cichlids from different origins into one tank. They have different requirements in particular such as water conditions, dietary requirements, personalities, etc.
 
This is clear. I just want to have as many suggestions and then choose one area for my aquarium.
 
Lake Tanganyika-shelldwellers/julidochromis/rainbow cichlids/brichardi
Lake Malawi-There are a lot of cichlids available..Yellow labs, auratus, fuelleborns, nyassa peacocks, etc.

If you want the African biotope, a pair of kribs with some Congo tetras will look nice. I know you won't like the Congos as they aren't cichlids.:)
