Alright. I will make some guesses. The pictures arent the best quality, so im not 100% sure on some of them.

1- Maylandia callainos http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=308

2- Maylandia lombardoi (male) also known as "kenyi" http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=399

3- Nimbochromis livingstoni http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=371

4- Same as #2, male kenyi

5- Pleco, gold nugget??

6- Melanochromis chipokae - not an auratus, but a chipokae. This one is a female, or could be a young male. http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=286

7- Same as #6, chipokae

8- Melanochromis chipokae - Looks like a male chipokae, but is hard to tell by the angle of the pic. A picture straight to the side should help make a positive ID. I put my money on chipokae though. http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=286

9- Same as #8, male chipokae

10- Same as #6, female or juvi male chipokae

11- Labidochromis caeruleus - AKA "yellow lab" or "electric yellow" http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=247

12- Rope fish

13- Pleco

14- Albino Pleco???

15- Melanochromis auratus - Now this one looks like a female auratus. You might want to give this one back because she might be picked on by the chipokae males, or even breed with them producing hybrids. http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=284

16- Same as #1, callainos

17- Maylandia estherae - "Red Zebra" Very hard to tell by the picture but i would guess a red zebra. A body shot would help ID it. http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=278

18- Same as #11, yellow lab.


Whew, well those are them to the best of my knowledge. Have a look at the links and see if they match (you know your fish best).

HTH
