Okay, my husband came home with these fish. All he could tell me was that they were cichlids. Now I know what he does on his errand days.

 

[Andrew McFadden]

I believe
1 Nimbochromis venustus
2 Aulonocara baenschi

 

[Andrew McFadden]

1 maybe Nimbochromis livingstonii I get them confused

 

[Cichlid-dude]

First looks like livingstonii to me. Venustus are more yellow.

I just love the bug eyes on the striped guy. They're slow like the Frontosa.

If my ID is right then it should look like this between 2-3" if its a male

They are peaceful peacocks and really laid back but with a stunning yellow color, one of my favorite peacocks.

The Nimbochromis livingstonii gets huge 10.5" and are pretty aggressive so watch out they need a big tank. Lol just a heads up
