would mbuna work?

Dwarfs should be fine in those ratios

Not necessarily. This is more likely to work as a species tank in a smaller aquarium than mixing species in said tank, but there are no guarantees. Also, let's remember the amount of experience that Pittbull has with African cichlids. ;) Not only that, but I'm sure Pittbull has a plan B in case there are issues.
 
Thanks mama yep i always have a plan b sitting around, so i plan to keep them in the 20 long for a bit and they will be fine til my 700gal above ground is ready and they will go in there and pretty much i will have a lot of fry or juvies by mid summer..

I also plan to put some Calvus out there as well.. thanks for the concerns aye..
