Default Getting a community cichlid tank, risky it could be...

Thanks Joe,
It has been 4 years now since I forsook my cichlid keeping nature for I have to leave for KL to further my study. Next year after graduation I'll start again the interest that I have long deserted. I'm gonna get a four feet tank and the species I am planning to keep are the convict cichlid, firemouth, rainbow cichlid and also the poor man's tropheous. They are small cichlid species and I've read that they could make a nice community. There will be only one fish for each species in that tank so that the over aggressiveness during spawning will not occur. But which gender would be more preferable?
