Would you be able to put any dwarf chiclids with mbuna im not sure it would be in 55gal with 6 2-3 inch africans
 
You shouldn't mix cichlids from different continents and they prefer different water parameters.

How do you know he's referring to other lakes dwarfs? Until all the facts of what fish he's describing advice can't be given. Plus these aren't wild caught fish, they all live in same water in your tank. I breed both Malawi and SA/CA and they're housed in the same tap water.

There are lots of dwarf mbuna you could choose, my two favorites are Afra Cobue and Saulosi.

I think I like the saulosi better how big do they get and whats a good site to buy them from?
 
Just go with the shellies even though they breed often just give the fry away or try to sell them but always listne to hukit he is very knowledgable
