Nice tank but you will need to separate your aggressive mbuna (your metraclima estherae) from those peacocks.
(Unless what looks like the zebra is a lab. Sometimes the colors in a photo can be deceiving.
Matter of fact how about a stock list.

Hence my parenthesis disclaimer. Your yellow lab should be fine and all looks good. Would still love to see a stock list.
I had a bad metraclima experience so I warn everyone whose fish even resembles a zebra.

The first pic looks like an albino zebra... the yellow lab being a peaceful part of mbuna would be "ok" (not really) if he is nipping the others... just do yourself a favor and separate...

More water movement to decrease aggression and allow fish to utilize currents in the water in their escape routes to claimed territory. Something like a Jebao WP-40 would be a very affordable option for these conditions. It would also be able to provide a pulse option would would be both visually pleasing as well as provide overall more territory as water passing certain areas decrease overall potential territory.

Well I've been doing this awhile and know what minimizes aggression and know why it does. As I mentioned above more current decreases territory sizes and provides more territory around turns and caves. Currents are now also available to smaller quicker moving fish to use as they avoid aggression..
I'm sure a mere google search would yield you someone else explaining it if you feel I wasn't a reputable enough of a source.
