Your clown loaches should be ok, though generally aren't recommend with mbuna as the loaches need a meaty diet and mbuna are primarily herbivours, it can be done though. The corys and rainbow shark will need to be moved as they wouldn't stand a chance against the boisterous mbuna.

Yellow labs (labidochromis caeruleus http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=713) are an excellent choice, they are peaceful by mbuna standards, and get along with most any other species.

There are many species that are blue with black stripes so I can't help you there.

The closest to red you can get are red zebras (metriclima estherae http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1730), a wonderful little fish.

My suggestion would be to read, read, read, before adding any fish to your tank. Go to your LFS and write down what mbuna they carry, then research it, and post on here and we can help you with compatability and numbers.

Here's a link for stocking suggestions on a 75gal tank, with a 90gal you could up the numbers given, plus add another species (example: they suggest 4 species of 4 individuals; you could have 5 species of 5 - 6 individuals). http/www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_75g.php
