hi

I wouldn't think that is to good an idea
see

The Zebras are more or less the same...

High PH
Hard water
herbivores
aggressive

If you wanted to put the malawis in the tank INSTEAD OF the
current occupants, that would be fine assuming you can meet the
water reqts and heavy filtration needs. I suggest you add a fair
few more mbuna as the game is usually to have 50% more Mbuna in
a tank than you would other fish types to stop hyperdominant
fish ripping up your stock

I would go for some of the smallar tanganyikans instead, neolamp
brichardi and a pair of shell dwellers...fish that will breed
and have interesting behaviuors

The choice is yours but, a definite NO to mixing what you have
now with the malawis
