2 Cichlid IDs

[BioHazard]

Hi, my name is Biohazard, and I am terrible at IDing cichlids.

Whew, I feel better with that off my chest.

Anyway, I help out at my lfs, and these cichlids are not labeled, which drives me NUTS! Please help me out here. :clap:

Cich 1

Cich 2

Thank you!

Looks like possibly an Albino Red Zebra in the first picture and the other looks like a regular Red Zebra

1. albino red top zebra and 2. is just a red zebra but chech water cause looks like they are discolored a little. May need to do more water changes.

The second is a Red Zebra for sure the first one the head don't look like a Zebra. Is probably but not the red type is probably the O type. Don't believe is Albino just for the simple reason that there are no Red Eyes.

I had just messed with the water, hence the nastyness. These are at my lfs. They had let the tanks go a little, but I am slowly bringing them back up to snuff.

They're red zebras. The first one is a different color morph, I forget the proper term for it, but not albino. Maybe just stressed out, but not albino.

Here's a fantastic "cheat sheet" for you, Bio:

Check out the genus gallery! All you need is to know whether they are African or New World cichlids.

When I saw the second pic, I thought, "Maylandia" - but apparently there is a huge taxonomic kerfuffle here: Maylandia, Metriaclima, or Pseudotropheus?

But yes...let's just say...red zebra. And the first is leucistic.
