I'm starting to lean more to the haps and peacocks right now. Seeing as though they are carnivores, they do not require the same diet that the mbuna would. I think the only mbuna I would have in the tank would be some labs. That way when they spawn the haps would have some natural prey. Any good website with a lot of info on haps and peacocks?

First off know that many of the yellow labs will survive... well assuming you feed the haps and peacocks. The best site I use is here: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/index.php
But this place also has a lot of just photos for each fish.

Now see that stocking list makes my American cichlid mind cringe. Is that tank not overcrowded? I want something that will work for the long run. Now I understand some fish may become a problem and need to be moved but for the most part I like well planned out set ups. On a side note though, imagining that amount of fish absolutely makes me all giddy.
For color alone, a male Hap/Peacock tank is AWESOME. As you've heard these fish are a little more mellow than the Mbuna. Keep researching and I'm sure you'll find a couple
of fish for your tank.
of fish for your tank.
His first is not over stocked at all... 10 red emps I would say full grown would be much, but not like Americans at all...mbuna more is better to a point...
