There are several cichlids that come under the general name of Mbuna. I believe they are all fairly large fish growing to around 7 or 8 inches . A large tank is required as is very alkaline, hard water.
It depends what type of cichlid they are. They grow all different sizes
Mbuna cichlids will grow as large as their tank allows them to, just like other captive fish. The Mbuna cichlid comes in several varieties.
I had peacocks with my yellow lab mbuna and white top hera mbuna cichlid. they will tussle with each other periodically, but it should be fine so long as you have than 4 or 5 to help spread aggression.
5 - 10 cm long

It is expected that Jewel Cichlids with Convict Cichlids.
no because the bigger cichlids will eat the little cichlids.
Yes it is a type of fish in Africa, although not exactly a species. It is a family of certain species of cichlid.The name mbuna means "rock fish" in the language of the Tonga people of Malaw.
Yes they can... but I was with the most Mbuna, they cannot be kept in pairs.
Red cichlids I am assuming as red devil cichlids and in which case at least a 75 gallon as they get upwards of 13 inches. Also, additional fish in the tank would diminish any aggressive behavior so they would not be focused on one another.
Yes, it is common to feed vegetable matter to Malawi cichlids (especially Mbuna). You can feed them cucumber, spinach, lettuce, peas (shelled), zucchini, etc. Feed a good quality flake/pellet food daily but veggies can be used to supplement the diet.
No they can not.
