What would be a nice stock for 63 gallon?

I have a 4 ft/63 Gallon tank with only a pair of M. Estherea
left. Tuesday I will be going to add some Yellow Labs (1/2).
Do you guys have any suggestions on what to add after that so it
would become a nice, colorfull setup?

You could probably add 3 haps and 4 more peacocks like a blue
ahli, yellow blaze, a deep water and any peacocks

I would add 4 or 5 yellow labs, wait a week for the bio-system
to catch up and then add 4 or 5 of another group. I have 16 in
my 4 foot 55 gallon tank. I have 4 yellow labs, 5 Rusties, 3
zebras, 2 exasperatus, 1 socolofi and 1 female kenyi. No nipped
fins or nitrate problems

Thanks @GaryJewett, that sounds like a nice setup. Could go for
the Haps and Peacock option, but would not want to mix them with
Mbuna. Feels odd mixing herbivores with carnivores in one tank.

I'm sure the agression would be all over the place, but I think
a very pretty tank would be a with only snow white socolifi,
frontosa, and young duboisi.
In fact, if I could restock that's what I would do...

The aggression will not be as bad as you think, due to the
overstocking it will be crazy so they will not be able to claim
a territory. I recommend a few Haps like Electric Blue Ahli, Red
Empress, Blue Dolphin,or Fire Hap. All four a beautiful when
fully grown. As for Peac**ks you can not go wrong with a
Sunshine, German Red, or a type of Jake. Hope this helps. Good
luck
