Guppy/Betta Compatible Cichlids?

[NSP]

Hi everyone,

I posted earlier about the Rainbow Cichlid, and I think it would be a
big time saver if I posted some Cichlid ideas I have.

I have a 25 gallon tank with:

2 Guppies
1 Betta
2 Bolivan Rams
2 Mollies
1 Pleco (don't criticize the Pleco ;=))

Here are some ideas I have - please tell me what you think would work:

1. Apistogramma Cockatoo
2. Golden-eyed Dwarf Cichlid
3. Red-Breasted Flag

My biggest challenges are my Guppies and Betta. Apparently, the more
beautiful the fish, the more delicious it is for the others to munch
on!

I'd really like to add another pair of Cichlids to the tank. What do
you think would be a safe bet? Is there a Cichlid I have not
considered?

Thanks in advance,

Neil

Aren't Festivums (sp?) community type fish?

I'm afraid not. Thank you for the suggestion - but they are quite...digestive.

Any other ideas?
