So I think my new set is complete.

Most African Cichlid keepers don't know their African cichlids very well either, so don't worry
Do you really think a yellow lab can live with a molly though?
I have had mollies in with zebras and the coexisted for years in the same tank.
Yes it can work.
Im not saying it will be easy because there always variables.
I cant judge a fishes personality or temperament after a car ride.
If provided smaller hiding places I have had a nice lil pack of golden rams with my mbuna before.
It is certainly possible to mix species from all over the world in a tank, however I wouldn't personally try it in this size of a tank. Maybe if you stick with only the more "peaceful" mbuna, such as lab. Perlmutt, etc. it will work. But 54 corner, I would consider only just large enough to do mbuna on their own, I wouldn't go and mix a bunch of fragile fish with them. And fish like gouramis with trailing fins are not a great mix for mbuna, as they nip the long extensions.
Best of luck to you, though I think it's a bit ill-advised in this size tank. I would only get the most passive of mbuna you can find.

I know this is a far fetched dream and challenge but given my tank dimensions I think it will be too hard to be a responsible fish keeper and try and combine all the species I want. ( way too selfish) so I am giving a little more thought and planning more carefully. I will update.
But my primary concern with this post which has gotten too far off topic is given my current filtration I could overstock the crap out of this tank? right? or naw?
