Some barbs are, some barbs aren't. As far as I know, none are aggressive in that they eat other fish, they're not big enough!
Yeah there are some small cichlids like the firemouth. Actually I'm tempted to get a baby oscar because I like oscars so much; I'll give him to my friend when he grows bigger.
Many cichlids don't really need plants and actually tend to uproot them.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm going to look into them. So what about a canister filter? Are those for saltwater setups only?
