Thanks for the reply.... I have been to the site a couple times and could not find.... Thanks

 

[Samphotog]

Crud I've seen those recently. I'll have a look around and get back to you!

 

[Bmac1972]

Thanks..... The first was something jaguar..... And the second was just listed as assorted African cichlids.... Appreciate the help

 

[Samphotog]

First suspect Melanochromis parallelus

Edit: Well that's all I got. Someone feel free to correct me though. I'm not 100%

 

[Bmac1972]

I think u may be right.... Mine has slightly diff pattern...the other fish is driving me nuts... Can't seem to find anything on it..... Thanks again

 

[Samphotog]

How so? And the patterns differ somewhat. Id be happy to give it another go if I could get a clearer picture maybe.

 

[Bmac1972]

Will try to get better pics... They are small and very active... The other fish was listed as a something jaguar... But found nothing on it... Appreciate your effort!

 

[Samphotog]

The greyish one looks like a Mel auratus

 

[Samphotog]

Hmmm Tropheus moorii maybe?

 

[PolyptRus]

[Bmac1972]

He is yellowish with dark brown stripes or bands...and has yellow spot on back fin..

Hmmm could it be a young psuedothropheus flavus?

Maybe a bumble cichlid. Look that up on google and see if it matches your fish
