Redid my 30 mbuna

Aren't all the inhabitants Mbuna species-besides the barbs of course?

Nope - the jewel is african riverine, but depending on the individual fish they can do ok with rift lake.

Tank looks very nice.

As regards stock, if you keep more than one of a species of mbuna you should keep 1 male and not less than 2 females. 1 male and 1 female will result in the male harassing the female to death. 2 males unless in a very large tank are likely to hammer each other. In a small tank this will be magnified greatly (less than 4 feet length).

I can see difficulties in your future when the cichlids mature - in that size tank they will likely wipe each other/barbs/corys.

Corys are not a good choice for catfish in an african tank at all - too gentle. You need something robust - synodontis multupunctatus, some plecos.

I would move out the corys & barbs, and upgrade to a 55 gallon and stock it with more malawis. I don't think the 30 will be very comfortable for long.
 
These fish have been in this tank, no problems for well over a year in my home and almost two years in a friends home, no problems with aggression yet. I do keep an eye on them and when/if it starts I will upgrade. HHHMMMM I always thought the jewels were mbuna. I guess I learned something today:)
