Don't suggest it...African Cichlids are alot more hyper than Silver Dollars, they will drive them into a heart attack, thats if they don't nip them too death.
Some things that you might try are some do jo loaches. I also have a rainbow shark in with them.

All you silver dollar and cichlid lovers probably would hate me for this. I've been getting an amazing deal on silver dollars because i'm buying them in bulk. I have just recently picked up 80 silver dollars. The silver dollars are all between 1-3 inches. I also get the same size in cichlids. I have these feeders in a 35 gal tank. These are what I feed to my piranhas. When I put the feeders into my 125 gal tank (usually one cichlid and 2-3 silver dollars) they co-exist. The cichlid will go after the silver dollars but will only chase them away from their teritory. well this is only short term since the silver dollars don't generally last long in the 125gal tank. But in the feeder tank i have one cichlid and the rest are dollars and the cichlid does not chase any of the dollars around.
