Do I have cichlids or?

I bought 2 fish and they have since multiplied into the huge family you see in the picture. Are they some sort of cichlid? If so, which kind specifically? They are various black and white spotted

Pretty tough to ID from the picture, I would say they are a OB of some type. OB = Orange blotch, but would hesitate to attempt to ID species from the pictures. Any chance of a clearer shot?

they have these in the lfs. their tank is just under the convict tank. i always look at them and think 'how are they not convicts? they have the exact same shape. i wish they had a label or something' and on google they are known as the calico convict cichlids, maybe take a peeky? x

Cell phone just doesn't cut it, I agree. let me find my digital camera. What does lfs stand for?
