Hello everyone. Could you please help identify these fish? There are a few different ones that I think they could be, but I don't know cichlids well enough.

considering the blur factor, a little more info might help. where did you get them? how much did you pay? what size are they? do you know if they are juvenile or full grown?
i'm lousy at fish i.d. but pics 1&2 look apisto something dwarf cichlid maybe.
and 3&4 could be anything from a comet to a red devil.

Pic 3 & 4 look like a "Red Zebra Mbuna" for info link hereAquaria Central (http://www.aquariacentral.com/species/db.cgi?db=fresh&uid=default&ID=0387&picture_view=1) . As for 1 & 2 I have no idea.:confused:

I got both of them at the LFS in atank that was only labeled for the Electric Yellow for $10 each. I'm pretty sure they're juvenile as they are about an inch in size.
The blue ones are actually a bluish purple in color and have black trim along the ends of the fins. The orange is a light orange and is solid. Both of them have pretty much the same body shape.
Let me know if you need more info. Thanks so far.

The blue is probably Pseudotropheus Socolofi. The other is probably a Red zebra, as earlier mentioned.

Thanks. I kind of thought the blue one was a socolof, but wasn't sure. After looking at some pics, the orange one probably is a red zebra.
I am trying to get some better pics, but they're not cooperating :D
