Hey everyone! I’m just wondering if anyone knows what type and if possible what gender cichlids I have! I got them from PetSmart and they told me they were all males but I saw two of them doing what looking like mating.
Thank you for your time!
I’m also thinking of rejoining them to a 55 gallon tank! How many more should I get if I make this move?

Did they come from the same tan, indicating mixed?

Yes the blue and black one (which I believe to be an electric blue) and the whitish one with stripes came from the same tank. The yellow one came from a different store however the tank I got it from was mixed as well

Then I wouldn't call any of them to a specific type. There isn't any guarantee that they haven't crossed to some extent along the lines.

Oh okay! Thank you! Anyway to tell if they are male or female? Also how many would you recommend putting in a 55g tank?
