Yes, for sure. Figure one 6" fish for about every 3 gallons for heavily stocked. Avoid females. And avoid haps, as some get really big. I'd pick either peacocks or mbuna. Mbuna are more aggressive but smaller and tough. Peacocks have more color. They don't all mix well together. You'll just have to research the ones your interested in
