Trying to indentify a couple of fish.. Any help would be awesome..

The friendliest place on the web for anyone with an interest in aquariums or fish keeping!
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The second one looks like some sort of a Cichlid. Maybe a Convict Cichlid. Now sure about the first one though.
 
I think the top fish is some sort of tilapia. The bottom picture is not a convict cichlid. There's an African cichlid called the convict but I can't remember the scientific name. This is driving me crazy.
 
Since these are cichilds, I am going to switch this thread into the cichlid section so the cichlid gurus will be more likely to see it. :)

Male or female??? Do you think??

I'd say male. Females usually present more color and may even have some orange and yellow in them.


Females.

Convict cichlids are more blue in color. These are dark black. With convicts the stripes stop around the belly area. This species has strpes that are thinner and extended.
