Don't know if anyone has said this yet about rams, but Bolivian rams are much hardier and would love your pH. German/blue/gold rams really are happiest in lower pH and are more fragile. Bolivians would do well with keyholes.

Any cichlids that don't need acidic water?

yup , keyholes and bolivian rams do fine with each other..however, keyholes have been known to pack hunt neons at night

Well sad news. I called all 6 fish shops in the metro denver area and none of them carry bolivian or keyhole cichlids. All I can find are golden and blue rams. What to do........
Keyholes are good - I had them at one point, but the male I had ended up being a bit territorial. another suggestion would be to get rainbow cichlids - these are the most peaceful cichlids I have ever owned - even when spawning they never did more than just chase curious fish away from their nesting site. Rainbows can be very pretty too - they tend to be a yellowish body with dark black lines and/or splotches, and will have a very nice bluish hue to their fins. you could probably do a pair of keyholes and a pair of rainbows, this way you have a little variety.
