Are there any Cichlids that can be kept in a planted tank other than angels & discus?

I have a 180 Discus tank that is doing well. I have had it set up for 18 Months now and the fish and plants have all grown a LOT. I am considering changing my Tank from discus to something else? I just struggle with the Water changes that is required to keep my fish healthy and happy! I am wondering is there is another fish choice that would not tare up the plants but get a nice size and show some nice color? I guess Angels would be an option but that's not a fish I want to focus on right now?

SO - If you have an Idea please share it with me. Thanks in advance for your help.

This is what I've seen:

South America:
-any Dwarf Cichlid - Rams, Apistos, etc.
-Festivum Cichlids (just found that on the net :P)

Africa:
-Kribs

But I'm guessing these species will be kinda small for a 180 gallon xD Sorry, other than these, I know of no other planted tank cichlids.
 
Ya - I knew of those and they are all small
