29 Gallon Setup: Stocking Inquiry

I don't think that you should put shellies in with Malawi cichlids. I also feel that a 29g is too small for peacocks.

You should make a choice of which you like better, the shellies or the peacocks.

If you want the peacocks more, put in 3 with a pleco nothing else.

If you want the shellies, get a species of shellie and you can also add one the the smaller Tanganyikan rock dwellers.
 
I'm going to go with the peacocks now, I'm going to put a couple shellies in a smaller tank.

Thanks for all your help Xavi, I appreciate it a lot.
