HI guys, can anyone help identify the following cichlids, I'm buying an upgrade for my 5ft x 1 1/2ft x 1 1/2ft (80 Gal) community tank, a 5ft x 1 1/2ft x 3ft (150 Gal)tank which currently houses 14 adult cichlids (some of which are shown in the photos).

I have over 15 years experience in fishkeeping but never been one for cichlids much!

Thanks in advance!

The last one looks like a male electric blue jack dempsey how big is it? Nice silver dollar hope you don't have real plants

Last one really does look like a JD, the second one looks like a Severum to me...

The first one looks a little bit like a yellow lab or some kind of mbuna to me but I'm not sure on that one.

Thanks guys I knew you'd sort me out!
The Jack Dempsey and the Severum are about 8 inches and the Yellow Lab is about 5 inches.

The 3rd pic/fish is NOT a jack dempsey.

Looks like it's a green texas cichlid to me.

The 2nd pic is a V. Synspilum, or as close to one as you can get now a days
as almost all are some sort of mixed deal now. The 3rd is a H. Carpintis.

I agree with btate 2 is in the vieja family and the 3rd more likely green texas not jd. My syn was nasty tempered and my texas is kind of laid back. I hear its supposed to be the opposite but what can you say lol.
