Hello,
I'm having a little trouble identifying these young Cichlids. I bought fish 7 for my recently finished Cichlid tank and I believe there may have been a slight discrepancy with the labelling in the LFS.

I know for certain I have bought;
2x Julidochromis Marlieri
1x Tropheus Duboisi

But the 4 remaining (all the same species / genus) are a little mystifying. They are towards the end of the video (45s) darting around each other and seen swimming past the camera occasionally.

Any help in identifying these is greatly appreciated

fshfanatic, the spotted fish emerging from the rock cave is the Tropheus, a juvenile

Sorry, cannot clearly see, the markings or coloring,
possibly Julidochromis transcriptus Bemba?

The silvery fish with the vertical bars are Labidochromis sp. "perlmutt". The Julie is a J. marlieri as you thought. The fish are all pretty young.

Thank you so much for your replies.
They do look very much like the 'Perlmutt'

We picked up 2x Labidochromis Caeruleus today from a LFS.
Once everyone has settled down I shall upload some photos of the tank
