I know there are several seasoned cichlid folks a lot more knowledgable then myself here, so can you put your knowledge to this canvas. I picked these two up today and they weren't labeled, It is possible they're a cross but I'm hoping not.

Hope my pictures post this is the first time tryin the app out lol

Cobalt and either a maingano or a johanni. Unless they're young it's hard to tell the difference between them.
Good lookin fish, congrats!

x2 on the cobalt ID, but the other I'm not sure there's a whole mess of mbuna that have those color combos

The pictures don't really show but they both look identical the only diff is one has somewhat more visable stripes. The one in the close up has the more visable stripes and is a lot less camera shy lol

And also they're not to young, about 3-4 inches

Im thinking "Pseudotropheus elongatus" http://www.aqua-fish.net/imgs/fish/slender-mbuna.jpg

or "Pseudotropheus socolofi" http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR3giKokCE4UNWyOgTbeQVU30mZeArRaBVHUiuntOkOiI9LRL7k



im leaning more on the socolofi tho, b/c the lines are alot less defined and narrow like it.

Any opinions?

I already have you my opinion. The first one is a cobalt and the second is a johanni or maingano.
