    Before adding more fish, do you know why all the others died?

    How big is your tank? Personally I would suggest do a proper clean and then recycle like you said.

    Peacock malawis are nice cichlids, the males go a bright blue, they arent as aggressive as mbunas either. Quite hardy fish also. They just tend to be messy which means you need to change your water frequently.

    Around 150 liter? How deep? Anyway, as to choice of fish, there are many, but your tank's dimensions come into it. Do you want to go South American or African (Rift Lakes or otherwise), or do you have something else in mind?
