I don't keep them so I wont begin to suggest types.
If I was to keep africans I would look into calvus, comps, brichard, and kribensis they have really cool shapes and allot less of the chasing around all the time. Maybe throw in a peacock for a splash of color.
Huh interesting, I smell a contradiction!
Kribs are west African and should not be mixed with rift lake cichlids. Also Kribs and brichardi do allot of chasing, you've obviously kept neither.
In a 200 liter I would go with some smaller West African or Victorian cichlids. Take a look at:
- Pelvicachromis taeniatus: Kienke, Wouri, Nyete, lobe, moliwe or wouri
- Astatotilapia aeneocolor
- Haplochromis sp. "dayglow"
- Haplochromis sp. "ruby"
- Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor "victoriae"
Those should give you a good jumping off point.

I wasn't suggesting all of them together. I was making suggestions of what he could keep that are african that aren't mbuna. And you obviously haven't kept them because Brichardi are one of the most passive cichlids I have ever seen and kribs keep territorties they dont do the random chasing that I see about mbuna.
Its so hard to make a suggestion on this site without gaurding every little thing you say
so hear it goes again. If I had that size tank and wanted africans I would look into kribs or calvus or comps of brichardi.
