You just need to be careful about mixing Peacocks with mbuna as the mbuna are a lot more aggressive than the Peacocks.
I have a 180litre tank with around 38 fish in it with breeding taking place. Am just waiting for my Tropheops sp "red cheek" to unload the fry she is carrying. Can't wait to see how many she has as her mouth is rather large. I have her in a breeding net hanging on the side of the tank. The male of this species is quite a fish.
Post some pics once you are up and running.

I had 30 hap in my 55 one time. all males so no breeding and no aggression probs either. might rearrange and do it again.
so id say 80-100 should be good. unless you get the bigger haps that go 10"+, then under 80.

QUOTE=scott g]How often and how much water do you change and how much filteration do you have on your tank SuperG?[/QUOTE]
Doing 20% on a weekly basis works quite well. Malawi's are quite fussy about the water and the cleaner and fresher you can keep it the better. Most of my fish spawn straight after a water change.

Holy crap! I didnt even know that was possible! I just started getting into africans, I have 1 yellow lab in a 45 high, and I thought that would be about it, I think I may consider a few more. I've been stuck in american cichlids for a while, I forgot how great african setups look, nice setup super g., really nice!
I have about 75 in my 240. I'll do 50 in a 180. Looks so much better with alot of fish swimming around.
