Here's a good compatibility chart to start off. looks like adding the
Labidochromis in with the peacock is probably okay, but doesn't look like
adding the cynotalipia is such a good idea. Good luck.

Aulonocara can be mixed with any of the non-herbivore Labidochromis,
provided you have adequate tank space for them. Labidochromis species such
as L. sp "Mbamba" and L. sp "Hongi" are herbivores and would not be
compatible with their diets.
Cyphotilapia frontosa are from Lake Tanganyika and have slightly different
water parameters, are piscivores and require a large tank. They, IMO, would
not be compatible in a Malawi tank. Cynotilapia afra are omnivores and some
of the less aggressive species may be OK, with Aulonocara and Labidochromis
species. If it's the Cynotilapia you're looking for, they'd do well with
Labidochromis, but make sure you avoid keeping species that are similar in
appearance.
For more details, post the species you're interested in at our forum and
I'll be more than happy to fill pages and pages of specifics for you. ;-)
