I've got a 75G mixed mbuna tank I've had up and running for about a year now. I've got about 9 varius cichlids in there now. THey are a mix of yellow labs, cherry reds, and a blue species I have listed int the "what is it" section. I want to add some more fish , but don't know what to do since everything in there are adults.

assuming you have plenty of filtration with a 75 you have room for way more!
i'd go with at least double your current stock to spread the aggression as mbuna are feisty. i have 15 in a 55 with lots of lace rock and its works well. they breed like crazy and there is constant activity. there are constant battles for dominance but if you have A LOT of rock there are always places to hide so it makes things exciting.
i would add all the new fish at once, that way no one gets singled out.

I agree, just make sure you have enough filter and water turn over.

I've got a big Rena XP filter and a large power head in there. Thanks guys, I'm going to add more rock and then get some more fish.
