I have kept (For quite a long time) and had a pair of tetracanthus successfully breed in a 125, but they would not tolerate any other fish in the tank, neither, other cichlids, nor dithers.

The 90 would probably work, and be best long term for smaller cichlid species like Amatitlania in a multiple cichlid community, or just a single medium size cichlid with no other fish.
few different Amatitlania/Cryptoheros species below, I've been able to keep in similar size tanks to a 90.

There are tons of options

Yeah if I’m going with the Cubans they’d be the only fish in there. It’s a tough choice, the average Cuban may not be as personable as the average Labiatus but there’s just something about watching a pair of cichlids raise their fry, it’s extraordinary.

Thanks for the input Duanes!
