I have a bit of a mixed bag:
Serranochromis jallae - nemwbe from Zambia, Zambezi River. So colorful during breeding season. Also called Yellow-Bellied Bream
Pelvicachromis sacrimontis - Giant Kribensis. So pretty.
Hemichromis exsul - Turkana Jewel Fish. So intense.
Andinoacra rivulatus - a well conditioned male mis a stunner.
Amatitlania siquia - anotehr small to medium center piece.
Andinoacara pulcher - Elctric Blue Acara. Although these are hit and miss when one has solid genetics they are stunning.
Vieja argentea - Silver cichlid. So pretty
Pterophyllum scalare/altum/leopoldi - I just love the wild forms.
Ivanacara adoketa - Zebra acara. So pretty in an understated way.
Cichla pinima/Thorichthys meeki - can't decide.

Just discovered Serranchrimis Jallae thanks to you. What a cool fish. So this isn’t a Malawi hap?

No, it is a large riverine cichlid species in a group of fish we call "bream" in Africa. Bream include most tilapia and similarly shaped cichlids that get larger in size. Nembwe are prized angling and eating species by us.
There are a few other great cichlids from that area - upper Zambezi and Kafue Rivers.
