You could try a Leopard Ctenopoma… They are kinda odd in that they look very much like a leaf, and will happily dine on live fish (preferably small Guppies or Minnows, not Goldfish), frozen worms or brine shrimp, and sometimes even pellets. They are fairly docile and will ignore anything that they can’t easily catch and swallow whole.
Another choice would be a smaller species of Dwarf Pike Cichlid, C. regani in particular. This species stays only a few inches in length, and will go after Guppy fry with a vengence.
