Hey guys. I got 4 more cichlids for my 55 gallon they are in a 10 gallon for quarentine. They are mbuna as far as I know. I know one is an albino socolofi but im unsure of the other three, I have never seen one like the yellow one though. (yes i know the tank is kind of dirty, i didnt clean the glass before taking pics)

yellow fellow is an albino melanochromis auratus.

second pic - looks like an afra (cynotilapia afra) to me.

In the shot with two fish, the top one (bigger fish) looks like a female kenyi...(metriaclimia lombardoi) to me...the other fish in that pic is the second guy again I think.

Nice fish and wish you luck with them ! :)

No prob :)

I'm sure enough about the albino auratus...not 100% on the other two.

I checked some profiles on cichlid-forum.com and they look spot on to what you said.
