So honestly I have an aristochromis christyi... And I wouldn't get him again for a mixed hap/peacock tank. While they look great, they just think everything is food... I mean he hasn't eaten anyone but he hovers over a few of my peacocks and nips at them (ie trys to eat them). And in fact he has caused 2 serious eye injuries.
(You have a couple of other larger haps too, say the venustus and livingstoni that I think would just cause other fish to be afraid and not show as much color.)
Besides that it looks good.

Cool thanks for the info kev I think the chrystyi livingstoni and venustus are awesomely colored fish but if they are going to cause more problems than good I will just have to do with out .Well off to the shop got my plywood last night and trying to finish the stand today
What other fish do you think would be a good adition to the list??
What other fish do you think would be a good adition to the list??Feather stone is volcanic rock kind of like the red lava rock you see only it is grey and a little sharp to work with but if you sand it down it will smooth out.It is most commly known as feather stone or feather rock.
Well I haven't gone through them all, but I don't think you have any
Placidochromis there.
Placidochromis electra are great since the males and females both are colorful. (Better than the picture shows.)
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1204
Oh and of course a Cyrtocara moorii
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1061
Then like I said before there is always the Placidochromis sp. "Phenochilus Tanzania" http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1218
Oh and if you do want a biger guy but he shouldn't a problem towards the peacocks get an Fossorochromis rostratus http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1079
There colors are always different, but if you have sand in the tank they are suppose to be great to watch.
If you haven't already just skim through these:

Anyways I will take a closer look when I have time.
