You have such a mix of fish listed...it's hard to go one by one and give you aggression levels for each fish. Yellow labs are usually pretty mellow, and I have Aceis and they are fairly calm as well. The Johannis are aggressive, and the Venustus gets fairly large.
Hope someone can give you better answers than mine, but I think you may have to do some research to figure out what exactly you want.
Here's what I have in a 125g
3 Ropefish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus)
1 Auratus (Melanochromis auratus)
2 Giraffe Hap (Nimbochromis venustus)
1 Yellow-tailed Acei (Pseudotropheus Acei)
1 Electric Yellow Lab (Labidochromis caeruleus)
1 Common Pleco (Hypostomus Plecostomus)
1 Labidochromis sp. "Mbamba"
3 Cynotilapia Afra White Top "Hara"
3 Pseudotropheus "Elongatus Chailosi"
3 Dinghani (Pseudotropheus flavus)
3 Maingano (Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos)
3 Metriaclima Red Top "Galilea Reef"
2 Pimelodus Pictus
3 Synodontis Petricola
The Venustus is actually some of my least agressive. He tried to eat my Syno once...keep in mind my Syno was only an inch and the Venustus was 6" long. He spit it out immediately and never attempted it again.
My Flavus and Galilea don't get along well and the Galilea is a dominant male in the tank. He has killed 3 of his tank mates already. I'm contemplating getting rid of him, but he is so brilliant and I believe they have finally established their areas.
The auratus is actually quite non-aggressive by herself, but she does hold her own against all the rest of the fish. It could just be her temper, and not necessarily represent the rest of them. The yellow lab is extremely passive as well as my acei.
