cichlids for a 29 planted?

[koipoloi]

I have a 29g tank that has been setup a while, it has had livebearers, cories and barbs in it but I would be moving those fish to another tank. I have never kept cichlids before. I am thinking of putting some sort of dwarf cichlid in the tank. The tank is planted so I am looking for a cichlid that won't destroy the plants.
Tank parameters are
pH 7.5
gH about 80
kh around 90
Tank is fully cycled and nitrates never get much over 10.

I was thinking possibly Bolivian rams but I think the pH is a bit high for them. Any suggestions?

I don't see why bolivians wouldn't work...also consider blue rams, apistos, kribs, etc. Basically any 'dwarf' cichlid.

I think Bolivians would work too. Pappy pretty much covered the list.

Kribensis Cichlids They breed easy to

Oops, didnt see kribs :/ sorry

Someone mentioned German Blue Rams but in my opinion your ph would be too high for them. Bolivians would be fine within that range though.

kept blue rams with a pH of 8.2-8.4 opcorn:

I have a large brood of oblongum fry growing out now, currently about 1". They thrive in hard, alkaline water and don't eat plants IME. They don't dig around the substrate either, but they will eradicate snails as well as clown loaches. Males max out around 5", females about 3", and my adult pair and fry are in a 29. They're substrate spawners, but after the eggs hatch the female will move the adhesive wigglers onto whatever plants are available (in my tanks that's Najas or java moss) and shift them around among the plants for several days until they're free-swimming. They're very mellow fish, won't really bother anything too large to eat (aside from other oblongum when they're mature.)

toddnbecka those fish look great. I will have to do some research on them.
It sounds like they would be a fit for the 29.

They wll fit in a 29, that's what I breed them and then raise the fry with the parents in until they grow too large and need to be moved to other tanks for more growout.
