Ahhh yessss... watched that video many times
(1m4f per species if you want easy, sustainable breeding) 5 Labidochromis caeruleus and 5 Pseudotropheus elegans 'ngara' or 'msuli/luwala' would make a nice looking/fairly peaceful tank.

Both of the species I mentioned are basically monomorphic, however, the Pseudotropheus elegans males and females can be distinguished by color as they become a mature age.
Pseudotropheus elegans 'msuli' (yellow tail acei) males have more blue/purple on their dorsal fin than do females who typically have a completely yellow dorsal fin.
Pseudotropheus elegans 'ngara' (white tail acei) males are much more vibrantly colored, very black with a very blue face and vibrantly white tail, whereas females are more of a black/brown color with a light blue sheen to their faces and a more dull white tail.
Labidochromis caeruleus males and females are basically indistinguishable.

Sigh, I love sexual monomorphism. Gonna be a pain to get the lfs to let me vent them.
What about Aulonocara, would they be fine with Labidochromis? Kinda digging Pseudotropheus Socolofi, the albino variant also looks nice but I don't care for albino fish.

aulonocara mix poorly with mbuna as they prefer more open territiories and are far less capable of fighting back when picked on
If you're planning on keeping mostly mbuna, I would not add any peacocks. Mbuna in general are much more aggressive than peacocks and will only bully the fewer number of peacocks most likely.
