One question though... should I go with the yellows or rustys first? And although you posted the m/f ratio for the acei, rustys and johnannis, there wasn't a recommended ratio for the yellow labs. I think that you indicated a pair, but should I get 2 pair or just 1 m & 1f?
Yellows are very calm fish. IIRC I indeed said a pair. 1 pair is fine. 2 pairs should also be fine. Yellows are probably the only species of Mbuna that can have more than 1 male in a 55G. If you do get 2 pairs: try to get two males that are about equally sized.
I wouldn't add more than 4 fish total though, considering the slightly high levels of nitrate...
