I need a suggestion on some Cichlids that are easy to care for, may produce
fry, and who thrive in my soft water. I taking all 76 3 month old platy
fry
to the LFS for a credit. I have 4 community tanks, so I thought perhaps I
would try some Cichlids. They will start off in a 10 gallon tank and work
their way up to the larger ones.

For a ten gallon tank, I'd look at something like Anomalochromis thomasi.
They're a West African riverine species. They're used to water fluctuations
so they're pretty hardy. You should have no problem breeding a pair of
these. You may also want to look into a pair of kribs, but they may be a bit
cramped in a ten gallon tank.
If you want more of a challenge, check out the Bolivian rams or some of the
Apisto species.
