Okay so I got a 46 gallon and I was wondering if I could do this ? If there's fish(s) I should get more of or rid of than tell me

demasoni cichlid 5"

Yellow lab cichlid 5"

Electric blue cichlid 8"

Red peacock cichlid 5"

Bumble bee cichlid 6"

Bristle nose pleco
 
Oh and my filtration is a bio wheel penguin filter 330 and another smaller bio wheel penguin filter
 
A 46 is not really that great for Africans but it can be done. Don't get the electric blue or any peacocks as they will be too big. If you go with just mbuna maybe 10 or so you will be okay IMO. I kept a number of Africans in a 45 successfully for years but never had more than 10 in the tank until I upgraded to my 125
