I acquired a used 90 gallon tank today that came with a bunch of African cichlids. I only know about south american cichlids and know nothing about their african cousins. Could you guys please help me identify what I have?















There were fifteen cichlids that came with the tank, all of the unique ones are pictured above. The yellow guys I think are yellow labs and the blue guys I think are electric blue johani. The ones in the fifth picture seem kind of generic, are they just random african or what?

Please help! :confused:

I also got a couple of clown loaches and a couple of common plecos, but as you can tell I figured out what they were! :headbang2:
 
first one is a Blue Johanni ,second is a Venustas , yellow one is a scribbled pseudotrophues, last pic is Kenyi,not sure on the 3rd last pic. white one is a ,not sure as well.

the first photo is a melanochromis johanni, 2nd photo is nimbochromis livingstoni, 3rd photo is another johanni with a hybrid, 4th photo is a yellow lab and the other 3 unknown, 5th photo is melanochromis auratus, 6th photo is unknown for me but isnt a yellow lab poss labidochromis perlmutt, 7th photo is a kenyi Pseudotropheus lombardoi, just my opinion..
 
I agree with Pit on his id's, also the 4th pic, the light peach colored one is an aulonocara sp. strawberry/drangonblood peacock, the other 2 besides yellow lab look like labidochromis crosses with something else. The one in the 6th pic looks like a yellow lab/afra cross.
 
Wow guys, lots of great info. That's exactly what I needed to know. A little longer here and I'll be an expert.
