Help me ID my new friends please!!


hi well my new little friends are doing really well, but I'd love to know their names. I'd made a few VERY uneducated guesses after hours on the internet, but i'd realy appreciate if someone could help me out!

Ok here's my guesses:
1: Labidochromis caeruleus
2:Metriaclima estherae
3:
4: Pseudotropheus elongatus / Melanochromis johannii

Forgive my ignorance if I'm way out!!

The first and second are both correct. The 3rd is not an acai (they have blue fins). It might be a juvie red finned borleyi, but I am not sure, that's just my wild guess The fourth looks like a johanni not an elongatus.

hi thanks for the replies. Im pretty certain of the first two now so thanks!
For number 3, i've googled your suggestions and Im not convinced yet. He is about 3 inches now so not sure if he should look more like an adult borleyi than he does?
He sometimes has darker horizontal stripes that you can't really see in the photo. Hope that helps! Thanks again
