What are good tankmates for South American Cichlids?

[Mckenzie]

Would like to know what fish would be best kept with South American Cichlids, specifically in a Firemouth tank and an Oscar/Dempsey tank.
Would like to get fish that not only won't get eaten or harassed to death, but also match the South American's environment. Would like a realistic setting.

Any of the pink tailed chalceus tetras or red hook silver dollars.(For south american tanks)Leporinus will worh also.Medium catfish.Specific varieties.
