There will be some math that you will need to do. As well you need to know how fast and how aggressive the fish is. http://www.malawicichlids.com/mw01019.htm So find out what the biggest fish you could have in your tank then go through a list of cichlids and the size that they will grow to. I am sure that any of the that are small enough for your tank will be great.
