It looks like it could be a Tire Track Eel (Mastacembelus armatus).

It is a tire-track like they said. It is a spiny eel. they grow to around 2 feet long.

Your cichlid looks like a Cynotilapia--what size is it. Post a bigger picture more close up if you can---but for now my vote is Cynotilapia--Lake Malawi Africa.

Possibly a Pseudotropheus saulosi male.

Saulosi stripes are typically wider and fewer---this one looks young though--so could be. The only thing that makes me doubt Cynotilapia is the dark dorsal fin on this one.
