I have had these African cichlids/mbuna's for about 4 months and was just wondering what types I have. I bought them from petco and it stated on the aquarium, assorted African Cichlids. I have 15 in a 60 gallon long, don't know if I have males or females, no aggression so far, if anybody can help I would appreciate it....

1st pic - dont know
2nd pic - maybe cobalt blue
3rd - looks the same has the 1st
4th - looks like red zebras and cobalt blues
5th - i see what looks to be a bumblebee in the top left corner
6th - maybe a acei ?
 
1st picture is the same as the third, I have a very similar cichlid. I only know it as a fancy zebra mix so if anyone can ID it further I'd appreciate it.

The one with the ice blue top fin looks like a blue top zebra cichlid (could be mistaken).

I see a bumblebee in the second last photo and what looks like a yellow lab.

The last photo is a yellow fin acei
 
Thanx everyone, the first and the third pik is the same type, I bought two,just really couldn't find any info on them that's why I was asking, they could b some type of hybrid, but I like the way it look

1st fish and 3rd fish look different to me

3rd looks like this
Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum
1st looks like a red empress cross

So it they are the same fish, then the camera angle is showing up different things.

The orange ones look like M. estherae (Red zebras)

They r the same, just the fins are different colors, I really do appreciate for giving me the info on them
 
Don't have to worry bout the two fish nomore, just found both of them dead,don't know how that happen, my other 13 fish are fine and I never seen them getting picked on, r.I.p. Fishes
