This is my first time getting into African Cichlids. Normally I only keep American Cichlids. I've done some basic research about African Cichlids. So any suitable tank mates for theses? I heard that they're downright psychopath.
About auratus and Demasoni.

From my experience, auratus is so aggressive, its hard to keep in any community..
And de masoni is best kept in a colony of its own kind, similar to the way Tropheus are kept.
Not that de masoni can't be held in a comminity, but a colony of mutiple generations is a very satisfying and color display experience, and seems to work well in that setting as opposed to a hodge podge of random individuals.

Generally, between mbunas, peacocks and haps. What is the most aggressive? I kinda want to mix them in the future.
If I may chime in, mbuna's tend to be the more aggressive out of the bunch, but that's not to say that there are not more docile species. Mixing them can be a little tricky, and more often than not it will work out better if you separate them, but I have both seen it done and done it personally. do with this info what you will. I hope I helped!
No problem! African cichlids are such cool fish. I truly hope you have a fantastic time keeping them if you decide to!
