That is a small tank for a lot of mbuna. You would be safe with some yellow labs and rustys. There really isn't any rule for how many African cichlids you can have in a tank. You just want to make sure your filtration can handle them.

What are the tank dimensions?

IMO your tank is really too small for any mbuna, but it would be a great tank for shelldwellers on the bottom, with a nice schooling fish on top. Here's a great link to some articles on shellies.

^^ As above for me - I wouldn't keep any Mbuna, Peacocks or Haps in that tank. Shellies would be great though.
