They had about 20 cichlids in a tank and they were all labeled red peacocks yet about 10 of the 20 were yellow with pearlesent jaws like a lemon jake or an Aulonocara Baenschi. Does anyone have any ideas. any help would be much appreciated.

a better shot of the caudal fin might help. i could be wrong but jacob usually have a much larger caudal fin than staurtgranti.
i'm thinking Stuartgranti and not jacob lemon jake. would be easier to guess with a closed mouth shot.
could be benga/baenschi but i am guessing maleri
"A. baenschi differs from the A. stuartgranti “maleri” by obtaining a somewhat smaller maximum size and having a curved snout as opposed to the straighter snout in A. stuartgranti “maleri” (Konings 1995)"
