There's already too many fish, you'll need to upgrade. 75 gal might work for 6 mbuna, 2 Peacocks, and one armored cat. To include the "common" pleco, which usually turn out to be 2 footers, you'd need atleast 120 gal w/ atleast 2x overfiltration and a ton of algae waffers. However the pleco is yet unidentified.

lol......... a 55 would be fine, and then u could add at least 10 more without a problem.... i personally would get rid of the pleco, there not necessary in a mbuna tank, mbuna will take care of alge, and all common plecos do is crap all over anyway, there generally useless
 
it might look cool if they are babies but anything over 3-4 months id do some thinking of a new tank upgrade. I started out with a 20 tall because these were just out of the fry stage, then i upgraded to a 55 and as they grew larger now all of them are in there final tank as a 112 gallon.
