Not quite sure what you mean, but do you have 2 breeding pairs of fish? Jewels can be extremely aggressive when breeding. Some of the most vicious fish there are!

Yes the jewels laid eggs so they'll be ok in there with the mbune and peacocks ?

They shouldn't really be in with Mbuna strictly speaking, but they will definately hold their own. Maybe wait for someone else with a bit more experience of the other fish they're in with.

If you have the option to move them then do so, but i think they will do a decent job of protecting them. These are some of the most aggressive cichlids there is.

Cool well the mbune are breeding to now and there both on the right side of the tank being freindy to each other but bating the crap outa anything that comes to that qrter of the tank seems like the males take turns watching while the other swims around the tank and returns then the other does the same its weird I had to get rid of 2 silver catfish due to constant atack on the fish eggs and taking way to much damage there in a goldfish tank at my sisters now they were both a lil over 6 inches long could I possible get some rams I know there ok wth jewels just not sure on mbune or alancare

I think you need to do some research first mate. Rams are certainly not suitable for a tank with mbuna. Water requirements are very different and the Rams will not hold their own against cichlids that are so aggressive as mbuna and jewels.
