the two splotchy looking one i think are peacocks and the black one looks like a moorii except for the mouth.
the first pix on your 3rd reply looks very similar to an ob peacock
and the first pix on your first reply looks like and ob also.......not sure.....ob peacocks are hybrids and they come in quite a different array of blotches....but the 2nd pix of your 3rd reply is kind of hard to tell with a front shot of the cichlid

here is a link to pix of the fish you have. they could very well be OB peacocks. We have 2 and can't wait for them to get their color....the fish look exactly like the ones in the link that I pasted here for you. Orange Marmalade Peacock Cichlids............

:huh: This is an electric blue jack dempsey
not really the same patterns. EBJD's don't have any red or orange in them tho. And no egg spots....

I know the name of that fish I just can't think of it. I think it's called an electric blue no that's not it.
the 'blotched' fish in question are OB Peacocks. they do not NOT look anything like electric blue dempseys. neither does the darker fish look anything like a moori 'except for the mouth'. isn't that much like saying it looks like an african knifefish except for the mouth, color, shape and etc? it looks much like Copadichromis borleyi.

I have 3 of these guys and most of what that website is true but mine are alot more aggressive. I have one peacock male and they are giving him a rough time. Considering rehoming them even though I love their color. The dark guys look like some sort of peacock with their stripes but have the red on their sides. Wish lfs would have game more info.
