I currently have a 55 gallon wth the current stock 5 one inch to one inch and a half yellow labs, 5 one inch and a half Acei, 5 two inch afra cobue and a two inch eupterus. I have run into a decent deal for 3 blood dragon peacocks at 2 inches for $10 a piece and another $15 for 2 day shipping from California. Would these be ok in that tank till I upgrade to a 150 gallon in about 9 months?
 
I have always read that you really shouldn't mix peacocks and mbuna. I don't think it is really that they won't get along but that the peacocks could become stressed to some extent and not show their colors completely. Course if you are going to be putting them in a 150, I would think that would be plenty of room for both to co-exist without any real issues.
