African Cichlid Tank - a photo on Flickriver

Updated shot of my mostly-Malawi cichlid tank. Among the Malawi cichlid I have, all of them are rock-dwelling species, or mbuna. I have been wanting to mix in some peacocks--for those of you out there who mix peacock and mbuna, let me know how it works out for you. What I have read is mbuna is just too aggressive for peacocks and tend to stress them out and not allowing them to display their best colors. But I have seen many people do it, including my LFS.

I managed to capture most of the fish in one shot. I currently have:

From Lake Malawi:
1X dominating male Metriaclima greshakei (Ice Blue Zebra)
1X female Metriaclima greshakei
3X Labidochromis caeruleus (Electric Yellow)
1X male Metriaclima estherae (Red Zebra)
1X male Pseudotropheus socolofi (Pindani)
1X male Labidochromic sp. "Perlmutt"
1X female Labidochromic sp. "Perlmutt"
1X male Metriaclima callainos (Cobalt Blue Zebra)
1X male Labidochromis sp. "Hongi"
1X male Pseudotropheus sp. "Flameback"
1X female Labeotropheus fuelleborni (Katale OB)
2X Cynotilapia afra (Minos Reef)
1X Cynotilapia afra (Unknown origin)

From Lake Tanganyika:
3X Syndontis multipunctatus (Cuckoo catfish)

From Africa's river system:
1X Hemichromis guttatus (Jewel Cichlid)
