The yellowish one looks like a pseudotropheus zebra. I thought initially that the blue one was an immature aulonocara but now I'm not sure. Perhaps pitbull will wade in on this.

See thats the problem with african cichlids! I've been looking through an old classification book at various africans, and some of the pictures look identical to my untrained eye, yet they are a completely different genus.... On occasion, the author will point out something so small as the shape of the lips or a spot here or there (explaining they are from the same area and trying to "fit in")

They are both zebras. One is a BB zebra (probably Metriaclima zebra) and the other is a Red Zebra (Metriaclima estherae). Red zebra is also a male.
