New Yellows

Mine look good, I think.

I would recommend going to your local gravel and rock dealer and buying slate or river rocks from them.

Where in NC are you located?

I have some tannish gravel, they look very natural. I'll get some pics up soon

Lake Malawi does have plenty of plant life. Plants aren't usually recommended in mbuna tanks because mbuna will often eat them.
You need more Yellow labs, lest your two now eventually bully eachother to death. I would get 4 more and for color maybe 6 of something else like cobalt blue zebras.
Mbuna are generally aggressive cichlids. You should have a good number to start with to disperse aggression.
They will need some time to get adjusted to their new tank. The lack of numbers may be what's keeping them shy about exploring their new digs.
They can also be switched to a different food, it's not hard.

I was actually planning on getting 2 blue dolphins and 2 acei cichlids with them, while they're young.

I got some Cichlid flake, and they love themto death, but they're getting picky. they won't eat the purple flakes! lol they suck the whole thing in and spit them back out.

C. moorii and P. sp. "Acei" get too large for tanks smaller than 55 gallons. 75 gallons is more appropriate for P. acei and even bigger or C. moorii.
For your tank I would stick to the smaller species or at the very least those that don't grow too much larger than 6" max.

I also need to make sure that they are compatible with my yellows.
