what kind of fish are these?? there amazing !

those are assorted cichlids in a very overstocked tank.
 
That is a great big mix of African Rift Lake Cichlids...mostly lake malawi; some mbuna, some aulonocara (peacocks), haps, I think I see a frontosa and some other tanganyikans in there in there too....and they are great :) go on you know you want to.

Subject to filtration its not overstocked as regards amount of fish, for Lake Malawis. You could take issue with some of the combinations but not overstocked. Or perhaps more accurately, it is overstocked in the sense that one typically stocks Malawi tanks at that level and in fact it is necessary to manage aggression.

edit : durn at 3:20 that is one of the biggest...leilupi I think..I've ever seen !

hmm...well i don't know that much about cichlids because i've never kept them. it just looks to me like there are too many in there and it looks crouded. kinda the fishy version of city living i suppose. i would not try to put that many of any fish in a tank together. but i guess that's just me. i hope buddy has an extremely good filter on that tank
