Omg I'm so excited right now. Look what I just picked up at my LFS! Can you take a guess what they are ;-)
No number 1 is not an OB but I'm 99.9% sure he's a sunshine benga and number 2 I'm lost. Number 3 is supposedly an electric blue johanni.

Ok I just did a little research and im pretty sure I just bought 2 Otopharynx lithobates males. Number 1 being a "yellow blaze" and number 2 being a "sulfer head hap" But number 3 is still a mystery.

2 looks line an ahli it doesn't look like it has the big yellow slick on his head for being a sulfur head
 
It does :) its a bad picture but there is a definite yellow stripe down the head.

From far away the first fish's yellow looks like a white stripe from the tip of the mouth to the back of the dorsal fin. But up close its yellow. Think maybe fish #3 is a yellowfin borleyi?

Could be wrong but the third pik kinda looks like aulonocara maylandi

He kinda does but it doesn't explain the dark splotches all over him. Where the otopharynx lithobates would explain them.

I have the same fish and bought it under that name could be a fault some where but thts kinda wat I'm going off
 
I bought them under false pretenses. They were all labeled as electric blue johanni :confused: knew that wasn't right immediately.
