| Pretty fish! I love African Cichlids 
Carol: I believe the pink one is some type of peacock. I had one that looked like it before it tried to eat another fish that was to big for it to swallow.....I won't get into that now 
As far as names go....I'm stumped. I keep thinking of cute girlie names cause of the color pink, but as far as I can tell, its a boy | |

I love all those fish. The first one is a Melanochromis chipokae(aggressive as heck), if it stays yellow it's a female..the other one is a Bumble bee cichlid, which are also very aggressive. The orange one is a red zebra type,& that is an OB peacock. 
Are you doing an all male tank? If not, to keep the peace 1 male to 3 female or more for the more aggressive types. What size tank do you have for them? | |

| The top left is a mel aurartus very aggressive cichild, the one on the right is a lake tang cichild, the one on the bottom left is a red zebra and the one on the bottom right is a ob peacock (a hybrid species).
If it looks like a rotton banana it is a psuedo crabro male. | |

Watch them closely, the aurartus is a very highly aggressive cichild, that is out to kill others. Even the female. | |
