Peacocks are fine with mbunas. Many people have them in with their mbunas. I just don't want the others to go unnocticed.

about the rocks. do i really need more when each of the rocks is 65cm long and 30 plus caves in each of them. the only reason i say this is because the rock were hand carved and cost $140 each. yes i know im mad but if it's for my fish and i would pay that a year just to sit and watch them have fun in the rocks
well i guess the kids won't get to eat this month. ha ha well if i had some. i take the advice and get another (ooh my legs went weak) so what mbuna do you think i should add just honestly can't decide meself
nice start !
considering your mix I would add labidochromis caereulus, pseodotropheus socolofi, iodotropheus sperengae, pseudotropheus acei (I prefer the white tailed variety)
A ratio of 1 male to 3/4 females of those would be very colourful and they are amongst the most docile mbuna, which would be nice for your tangs.
You could probably have some more peacocks as well in that size tank. If you did that I'd have no females, but no similar looking males/males of the same species.
You do need way more rock work though. Those carved rocks look good, and are not bad as such in your tank, but you need some large piles, stacked right up to the water line, of actual caves. You can use almost any rock - tuffa is great; light and easy to arrange - you don't need that spendy stuff.
