ok so your salousi are staying, i would go with other semi aggresive mbuna, like yellow labs (labidochromis caeruleus), metriclima callainos, metriclima estherae, psuedochromis socofoli (albino or normal)

what i would go with is:

your salousi
4 yellow labs
one other species of 3 of any of the others i named, make sure to get a 1M/2F ratio

any other questions i would be happy to help

Yellow labs go great with salousi, you could also throw in some calvus which are a really neat piscivore that stays small but can be agressive and will eat small feeders, although they will also eat any fry.
You could try neolamprologus felucia, I have a group in my 55 mbuna setup with salousi and they are nasty but not too nasty. I am actually looking to shed them. Stay away from peacocks as they are rather peacfull compared to the others mentioned.
Have fun with it.

calvus will get beaten by the saulusi and labs, they are not active enough.

I have never had that problem in all the years I have kept them together. I suppose though in a very open and unplanted tank that would be the case. My tank however, has many caves and even more plants.
