Not true.
Incredible diversity within the cichlid family, from 1" shell dwellers to 3' tank busters; convicts that will survive and breed in a muddy bucket to discus that require weekly water changes and specific water parameters. And most can be kept with non-cichlid fish with the proper selection.
Cichlids are a good starting point for a new tank, great centre-piece fish. Check out cichlidforum.com in the cookie-cutter tank section, will give you a good idea of what is available for your tank. Lots of choices. Pick something you like and build your community around it.
PS
piranha are boring
