Adding another Blue Acara or other cichlid to my existing setup

Hi there

I currently have a Geophagus Araguaia "Orange Head", Angelfish and a Blue Acara housed together in a 200L tank. They seem to get on ok so far, sharing power (ie the geo likes to chase the blue acara who likes to chase the angelfish who likes to chase the geo). I have a lot of driftwood plus flowerpot to give them some private time.

I was wondering if it would be safe from an aggression perspective to either add:

1) a male Blue Acara to pair up with the female, OR

2) another cichlid to give it more colour. If so, what would you suggest?

Cheers

Adding another Acara in hopes of a pair is only going to cause problems in that sized tank. If you're going to add anything I would try and make it another Orange Head, as they're a social species and will do better with company.
