I have a cichlid tank mostly comprised of peacock's , one green terror, and a frontosa..... Is it ok to add a few flowerhorns to this tank?
Chiclid compatibility????

Flowerhorn will rip all your other cichlids to pieces. I tried one in my 180 gallon mixed cichlid tank (Mbuna, Jack Dempseys, Carpintis, Red Devil, Convicts, and a Raphael Catfish). He had every fish pinned in the corner (including those twice his size) and seemed to take pleasure in eviscerating smaller tankmates.
Size will big your answer if you have the right size tank maybe 200+ it could work depending on the aggression of the particular flowers> but if it may get to aggressive wit the frontosa and stress it out and thats not good seeing that they are gentle giant fish not really up to the task against a aggressive FH.
My tank is a 125 gallon, didnt realize they were that aggressive ...

Agree with the above, your peacocks and frontosa are are much too passive to be with a fh, thtey will be killed.
Should flowerheads just be kept by themselves? ????

that would B the best way in that size of a tank u could maybe get away with another similar size cichlid or somthing big that can hold its weight and raised together 4 a while
Flowerhorn do better by themselves but occasionally get a long in very large tanks or overstocked tanks. At the tank size you have I wouldn't attempt it.
