I have to agree with Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic. The 7th pic looks like a ice blue zebra but the last one is definitely looks like a jewel but if I'm right they like more acidic water than most Africans cichlid. Again i think that may want to check just in case. Hope this helps

The jewel cichlid is from rivers in West Africa, so it's not a hap, peacock or mbuna.
The frontosa (first picture in your second post) is a Tanganyikan cichlid.
The OB zebra is a essentially a mbuna.

How did u get those holes in your pots without breaking them completely

Hope you have a large tank. That frontosa will get 15".

Thanks so much for your replies. These fish were given to me (with the exception of the frontosa) so no time to research before I received them. At this time they are now in their temporary home (115gal) until my 340gal is set up in the gararge.

So, can I mix these mbumas(+ the river fish & frontosa) with Peacocks and Haps? I've heard yes and no. Or, do they simply have to be from the same lake (I've heard yes and no regarding this as well)?

Looking foward to your answers.

??? Flowerpots

Flower pots:

You'll need a drill, flat head screwdriver and hammer.

Drill a small hole in the center if the pot (next time I'll use a drill bit for concrete as a regular wood or metal bit takes too long and gets red hot). Next use a bigger bit until you get the hole about finger size. Use the screwdriver and hammer to go around the edge of the hole to make it bigger. Once the hole is big enough use the hammer alone to go around the edge until he hole is to your liking. Next use a round file to smooth out the edges. A dremel tool was also used to smoth out the hole even more. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but this was my first time (i made four) and it worked.

Hope this helps.

Your first pic to me looks like possibly a yellow tail acei and a white tail acei.
And pic two looks like a male kenyi.
