Default Other varieties to mix with African C's?

I have a 55 (long) with about 8, 1 1/2" beautiful African Cichlids. I am wondering what other types of fish species can be added without issues. I know to get them approx. the same size.

TIA

Either fish that can out swim them, such as rainbows, or fish they can not easily harm, such as plecos.
Synodontis catfish, many of whom are found in the same lakes, also do well with these cichlids.

Avoid softer water fish.
