I resuced a tank of fish. I know they are Africian Cichlids, I think from lake malawi. Any help with what type of fish they are will help with caring for them. The more researching I do the more confused I get. When I took them no one could answer my questions because the person who owned them passed. My water is good I think? amonia 0 nitrate .5 ph 7.8 temp 80f
Any help will be appriciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure with all of your fish, but looks like you have a red zebra and a cobalt. To check all of them, you should check out:

The blue fish in the first photo is a pseudotropheus socolofi.

The orange colored fish in the subsequent pics are red zebras (metriaclima estherae), and the last fish is a pseudotropheus acei.

The other fish appear to be zebras (metriaclima genus) of some sort.

I agree with kay-bee on the IDs. The 4th one could be a female Kenyi, but I'm not certain.
