I prefer CA/SA cichlids but I am open to anything. Especially oddballs. Let me know what you think!
 
One of anything 12" long, two of anything compatible 8-10" long :thud:

What do you want? Color, movement, aggression, personality, one big fish, several small ones?

Firemouth and rainbows would be interesting to me. Or maybe rainbows and honduran red points. Or maybe all three if I avoid pairs.
 
You could have 2 blood parrots.
You could have up to 5 angelfish.
You could have 2 sevs.
You could have 1 bp and 1 sev.
You could have 2-3 festivums.
You could have 1 oscar (although a 75 would be ideal).
You could have 1 Jack Dempsey.
You could have 2 Electric Blue JD.
You could have 6-8 mbuna.
And the list goes on and on!!

Let us know what you prefer and we can narrow it down for you. :)

I would try something along the lines of...

1 blue acara
4 female three spot gouramis (gold, blue, etc)
6 yoyo loaches

You'd have to keep up on your maintenance, they are all pretty good sized fish.
