ID Cichlids Please

[HUKIT]

I was given 2 cichlids today and i have no idea what they are but they're both male's. They are both blue/black bars with yellow edges on fins. My first guess was a yellow top but they're both very dark.

I was not paying attenion and posting in the wrong forum...please move.

Looks like an Ice Zebra to me, but I could be wrong.

It also looks like a juvenile, which is harder to identify as it hasn't colorized all the way yet.

Cynotilapia afra 'cobue'. I used to have some of these guys....they get about 3-4" max and the males will argue over territory. My males never had a brawl, but they almost always were "arguing". Beautiful fish! Females are all purple/gray if you can every get some.

edit: I went ahead and moved the thread to the Cichlid Discussion and added the word Cichlid to your title.
