I generally don't recommend putting cichlids together. Obviously it works with crowding some of the rift lake cichlids but most of these fish tend to fight a lot amongst themselves when they spawn. However you could look into some of the other fish from the same area that are about the same size.  Neetroplus nematopus is one possibility
