Best freshwater fish for tank that is often too warm?

Greetings all!

I live in a part of Southern California, USA, where it gets pretty
darn warm during the summer months -- at least two days in the last
week the temps got up to 104.5 in the shade. Since I don't have air
conditioning, you can imagine how warm my 20-gallon fish tank can get
-- it certainly is routinely higher than the maxiumum indication of 82
degrees on the tank thermometer during the summer. There is no way I
can move this tank into a cooler location unless I move it to the
basement. I do put ice in the tank when things get desperate.

Surprisingly, the fish I have had in this tank have not done badly --
I guess I have varieties that tolerate high temps.

Anyway, I got a new tank recently to replace my old one, and I will be
buying a bunch of new fish soon. Can anyone recommend types of
freshwater fish that are known for being particularly tolerate of high
temperatures?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Chuck

"Salvinii cichlids are a good match for the temps that you are describing.
They are local to you and very pretty too IMO.
