    I would add more rockwork to help make the mbuna a little more comfortable, otherwise looks good.

    Normally I don't like gravel, but I love the dramatic color of the blue against your decorations & background :)

    Watch your ph as it will go up with crushed shells along with your hardness which I am not sure which lake in Africa your fish are native to, but it may be a good thing!

    The labs are Mbuna from lake Malawi, not for sure what other fish there are but I know I spotted those.
