Since I now realize this is in the wrong section... I will turn it into a question. How many more cichlids would be recommended (if any)? This will be their final home so I don't want it too crowded but feel by looking at it, it could house a few more. I'd also like suggestions on what to add, I like different colors to help reduce aggression. Thanks.

Crowding them lowers aggression.plus it looks like you have enough hiding places. And nice tank!

Nice tank, first shot almost look like a bare tank. You definitely can add more. Many choices available, Livingstonii and Malawi Eyebiter would look nice. What is their regular staple?

Thanks guys. Yeah when they want to they can disappear in many hiding places lol. I think it makes it more natural. I'll Definately be looking to add some more. Thanks ricomambo for the suggestions, I'll have to look into some species.
