You should be able to go with between 4 to 6 Yellow Labs. Labs are more docile than most Mbunas, so you could go with Peacocks and smaller Haps, or some of the less aggressive Mbunas. I've had good luck mixing labs with C. afra, P. acei, and Rustys.
Currently I have some Labs in my 100 gal with a mix of Peacocks, Haps, and grow-out JDs. I hope this helps.
