I have 3 clown loaches, 2 bronze corys,1 clown pleco in a 55gal.My tank is well planted,many caves and rocks, and driftwood.The PH is 6.8 temp is 78.I'm looking for any south/central american ciclids that have a long life span and that are compadible with my current tank mate.

I would probably go with a pair of Angels for the upper region, and 1 or 2 male rams as well as 6 females for the center region.

First, more corys! They're a shoaling fish, so try to add 4-5 more to the group you have now. Maybe some geophagus? They live a decent amount of time. Look at it this way, VERY BASICALLY lol (screw fine print, need bold!) the bigger a cichlid is, the longer it'll live. Uaru would be a nice addition also, as well as angels, or festivum
