Even with docile dwarf Mbuna like Saulosi, I've had issues keeping them with peacocks and haps. They would relentlessly chase the peacocks and haps from side to side in the tank. Nowadays I only keep yellow labs with my peacocks and haps.

I never keep any mbuna with my haps or peacocks. Sucks watching a nicely coloring male get chased rentlessly. Also could bring on a bout with ick. Any mbuna become just tooo aggressive.
 
i would defintely upgrade to a bigger tank if you plan to keep these fish for an extended period of time, they will thrive in bigger setup, maybe a 125 or 150 with tons of caves and hiding places, before you know it they will breed without you knowing it and you will see babies coming out of hiding places,,,plus having enough hiding places for all your fish will tremendously reduce any stress they have from bullies in the tank......good luck
