Looks like a cynotilapia Afra ...

 

[Fishanatic]

Possibly both males.

How big are these guys?

May also be Malawi 'dolphins' (Metriaclima sp. 'dolphin' (Ndonga) aka 'giant demasoni's).

Most afra's max out at about 3", while the above species surpasses 6".

 

[herbzIOW]

Not too sure on size as it is a picture someone sent me hoping I had the answer

 

[Fishanatic]

I think it's a cynotilapia Afra, and as i stated, i am almost positive, if it is a cynotilapia Afra, they are both males.

 

[kay-bee19]

Which c. afra variant?

 

[herbzIOW]

From research i have done elsewhere I agree with fishanatic

 

[Fishbay]

They look like convicts or electric blues

They look like convicts or electric blues

Not a convict though.

looks like a cynotilapia afra red top lundo

 

[Fallout801]

I was thinking red top as well. Hard to tell sex by color of only two fish
