Feed them cichlid flakes at first. You can also buy frozen fresh fish food, just thaw in water and pour in.
Yes they can... but I was with the most Mbuna, they cannot be kept in pairs.
There are several cichlids that come under the general name of Mbuna. I believe they are all fairly large fish growing to around 7 or 8 inches . A large tank is required as is very alkaline, hard water.
5 - 10 cm long
I had peacocks with my yellow lab mbuna and white top hera mbuna cichlid. they will tussle with each other periodically, but it should be fine so long as you have than 4 or 5 to help spread aggression.
