orange collar peacoks

[sunnygirl]

does anyone know where i can find pics of adult orange collar peacocks? a friend gave me two juvies, and i would like to know what they will look like. also i wanted to see if anyone could id one of my cichlids. its yellow with three black horizontal stripes. its body is slender, and the shape makes me think that it is from lake tanganyika. also its lips are outlined in black. sorry, no pics.

thanks for the help. you were very close on your first guess. but i found it on this site: http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/gchipokee.html notice the black outline on the lips.

It could be a female Melanochromis Auratus too.
Has the same colour, it's just a little smaller.
The picture from your link, btw, is also a female.
