The orange one is a red zebra and the yellow one is a yellow lab

Thank you very much Allie you have helped me out a lot on this post I appreciate it. Now I can do a little more research on them. One question, is this a good combo usually?

Allie

Red zebra and yellow labs are great together. But the venustus is a problem...different level of aggression.
No problem.
Anything I can do help to help people with their Africans cichlids. I went thru 20+ species over the past 2 years trying to get the right combo for our set up.
If it can help others not got thru all the changing up of fish or deaths. I have no problem with that at all. If you have any more questions just ask.

How old are they, your looks like they aren't mature enough to see the aggression yet.

I don't know how old they are the people I got them from did not tell me. I put them in the 75 gallon (don't worry I used bio-spira). They are loving it! I know I want to add fish I just havn't decided what kind of cichlids yet.
