Help with identifying two fish

[pgreptom]

I took these three fish off a friend for a favor.. they were being picked on by some Dempseys.. they are all three doing great.



This is the same fish.. practically the same stance.

Then there's this pair..

The first (solid red one) looks like a red zebra, the second looks possibly like a hybrid the third (blue) looks like a cobalt blue.

The three fish are all orange.. I need help with identifying the orange fish(sorry for not specifying)

The first two pics I tried to get of the solid orange one... but he took the same stance.

The last two pics are of two different orange / black blotted cichlids that I needed help identifying

thanks so much

The orange black blotted ones appear to be hybrids.

I looked around on the web to see if I could find an id for the orange and black one. Here is what I found Red or Orange Blocth Zebra Cichlid, Metriaclima estherae aquarium tropical fish photo from Tropical Fish and Aquariums

I think the first 2 are these:
Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum

The blue one:
Metriaclima callainos OR Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum

The Orange and Black one:
Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum



You can check out the whole website if you want.
Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum

Good luck and have fun!

I's say the first one is a strawberry peacock, really not sure. You can use this site to help you identify. It should contain a couple of pictures of chichlids as well as a few information about them as well.

the first one is not a strawberry peacock, it is clearly a red zebra(looks like a male)... red zebras are not red, they are orange or peach colored... only cherry red zebras are dark red... the other one definately looks like an M. estherae, which i would LOVE to put in my mbuna tank. Make sure you dont feed them alot of protein, as they will get bloat... and dont mix them with south/central american or other africans with are more carnivorous and require more protein... these mbuna are so fun to watch. Also make sure they have lots of caves to hide in, they will be very aggressive if not
