In the first pic, the top fish is an Electric blue Ahli. As for the others...Can't help ya there

I agree with the post above. The top fish (very blue one) is an Electic Blue Ahli (http://www.cichlidforum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1324). His fins look just like the one in that profile. :)

The middle fish in the top picture looks like the C. afra. It looks like a female.
The one on the bottom of the first picture looks like a Compressiceps, like you said.

The second picture does resemble the Super Red Emporess. It doesn't have much color though, so could be a female.

Off topic a bit....why the reef tank background? Hehe....

^^Ohh...I forgot to suggest a solid black background. :) Will make the fish really stand out.

And that Electric Blue is a gorgeous fish!

Thanks everyone for your help. I agree the background does not match, I was just trying to make it look more colorful. I agree that a solid one will look much better. I am planning on putting a black backgroud this weekend.

agree that the 1st fish is definitely not a lwanda red top... here's a pic of one of my lwandas.
