I'm new here and I have 2 fish that I cannot identify and I was hoping someone here could. the first fish is only 1 inch or less in size right nowhttp://community.webshots.com/s/image9/8/47/1/111484701mGNyYm_ph.jpg http://community.webshots.com/s/image9/8/48/84/111484884BYUvKt_ph.jpgthe second one is about the same size as the first http://community.webshots.com/s/image9/8/49/72/111484972ECMSvw_ph.jpg http://community.webshots.com/s/image9/1/33/47/111813347kExZZw_ph.jpg any help with their identities would be appreciated and if you need me to try to take better pictures I can but they are a little camera shy so it takes a while.
I also have 2 kenyi's and I would like to know if you guys think that I have a male and a female here http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=111485187&photoID=111901929&security=TAhddm http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=111485187&photoID=111903002&security=YMBRcithanks for all your help. Just in case you can't link to the pictures here is a link to my webshots albumshttp://community.webshots.com/user/terris959 thanks for your help, Terri

Welcom to this forum 'Halsa'.

It's difficult to give a positive id on the juvies when they are that small/young, but I ‘m pretty sure they’re some sort of Aulonocara (Peacock) but it could also be something like protomelas juvies.
As for the Kenyi’s (Metriaclima lambardoi), yep they are. Just in case you didn’t know; the female is the blue striped one and the male is the yellow.

The silvery one definately looks like some sort of haps(not peacock). I'm thinking maybe Protomelas steveni juvie or female. The are silver with dark barring that forms and H.

Does that sound like its right? A bit hard to tell form the pics. A good side shot would be good.
