I have a 125 gallon tank that is stocked with american cichlids and now i want to stock my 30 gallon tank. I am thinking of around 5 african mbunas and few cory cats but is there any other type of species or community possible apart from tetras.

Is it possible to keep more than 5 africans in my 30 gallon ?

I say give a betta a good home in your 30g. Maybe a female betta sorority and some Cory cats or kuhlli loaches? That's just me though.

Africans get fairly large, and need a high PH compared to cories.

Maybe if you want any africans the shell dwelling cichlids from lake tanginyaka will be good. They dont even get 4cm but appreciate legroom and males set up small territory's with a few shells in it. You can keep them with other small tanginyaka cichlids that live higher up.
