Small Cichlids with guppies and neon tetras

I was wondering are there any small cichlids that could go with guppies and neon tetras. Tank size is 46 gallons, ph is 7.4-7.5 and temp is 78 degrees. If there aren't any small cichlids that would do well what are other interesting fish that would work?

Any of the Mikrogeophagus ramirezi family will work with guppies and tetras. They will occupy the bottom of the tank and are only agressive when breeding and defending eggs, Usually anyone that comes to close, but not killer aggressive. For a tank your size I would start with 6 juveniles and let them pair up. It's cheaper than buying proven pairs. They are a fun fish to watch.
