Just got a new 150 gallon

I currently have adult:
1 M.crabro
1 P.socolofi
1 L.caeruleus
1 L.fulleborni

Newly aquired Juveniles:
2 P.aceii
1 L.perlmutt
2 P.zebra
1 L."Red Top Kimpuma"

Any suggestions for more fish. Not familiar With Haps or Peacocks. Would they make a nice addition to the tank or would it be a mistake. I'm trying to keep this strictly a Malawi tank. I'm not too certain on how many fish I can hold in this tank. I have a 175 Wet/Dry Filter and I'm not new to Mbuna.
 
Dupont, I too have a 150 gal mostly Malawi tank. I have had it up and running for almost a year and half. I have some of the fish you have on your list as well as a pair of red fin haps, moorii, bald top afra, trewavasae. All of the fish I have I bought as small/mediums. I have approx 20 fish in my tank. the largest at this time is a 4/5 in red fin hap. Some may think its over crowded however, the aggression is kept to a few sparring events and chases from one end to the other because no one can truly dominate the tank. I have watched all the males in the tank try to be king but it wont last long and every one has become quite compatible. Haps and peacocks seem to get along ok but one thing you should remember is to not add a super aggressive fish to the mix as you will start having troubles. Plus you got to have a couple plecs and a "cat" or two.
