Hmm...the site came up as "Done...with errors on page" and those errors apparently had to do with the pictures as they didn't show up. Are my computer and websites just that incompatible? (I rarely manage to see pics no matter what, so I'd guess that it's my comp...)

Mbuna is a name given to many rock-dwelling fishes from lake Malawi. I named the picture, I know what it's titled. I was curious as to the taxonomical names for these fish.

Yeah... it's probably Geocities. I've been having a difficult time even accessing the page. Stoopid said it had something to do with the server limiting traffic? (I probably misinterpreted that, since that discussion was about linking directly to images.)

The blue mbuna are maylandia callainos (Cobalt Blue), the one with the black spot is a Jewel cichlid either Hemichromis liffalli or Hemichromis bimaculatus, both are known as Jewels.
The fish with the bright orange tale is not any cichlid I have ever seen.

Thank you, David.
The fish I was wondering about were only the two in the bottom right.
The fish with the bright orange tail is some type of damsel fish, although it's exact name does not concern me, since that fish is now scientifically called "Brewster" thanks to my girlfriend. That was a picture from my saltwater tank.

They are both Cobalt Blues then and looking like females.
