I'm sure the OP can do a google search on cichlids but just maybe he/she doesn't know we're to start and giving a generic cichlid link doesn't help.



-Cobalt zebra picture 1
- Keep in mind I'm no Peacock expert but that looks like a Aulonocara jacobfreibergi "Eureka", picture 2
- Possible Dragons blood peacock, picture 3

Thanks both of you but I don't think pic 3 is a peacock at all looks like Malawi or mabuna or some sort of ob its pinkesh with a dirty black smerk on his nose lol I wish it was a dragons blood lol

 

[garfy]

Pic 3 most certainly is a peacock.

#3: Probable Metriaclima estherae (red zebra); please provide better pictures, especially of its head and mouth.

#1: They appear to be female or juvenile male specimens of some dimorphic zebra species. I don't think these are Metriaclima callainos (cobalt blue zebras). Do their dorsal fins have a tinge of orange?

 

[cichlidheaven]

Kay the bigger colbalt dose have a hint of red the other not yet

 

[cichlidheaven]

Srry Orange n red

 

[kay-bee19]

The red & orange dorsal tinge reinforces my notion that they're not a cobalt's (M. callainos) then.

Just as a heads up man, the Aulonocara family
(Peacocks) are from Lake Malawi. After looking at fish 3 on a larger screen I still believe that it's a Peacock Hybrid of some kind, however more pictures will help allot. I believe Kay is also spot on for the ID of the first fish, I knew it was in the Metriaclima family I just wasn't 100% if it was a callainos or a young estherae.

 

[cichlidheaven]

Ima try to cache it in a pic or a vid cuz we gotta solve this

 

[cichlidheaven]

So what yall think lol

 

[Mogurako]

I still think peacock hybrid but we'll see what Kay says.

 

[cichlidheaven]
