    Markings are faded and there seems to be a horizontal marking on the top half of its body along with faded vertical bars.. It also doesn't look colorful... My guess its from an assorted tank.

    How many fish can I put in a 30 gallon aka cichlids

    Unusual cichlid behavior

    Looks like you have a aulonocara baenschi ( sunshine peacock), yellow lab, and the last one seemed like a cobalt zebra. Can't tell what the others are. Size and number of fish is not bad. I don't believe peacocks being overstocked in a tank helps. Mbuna yes on that. Peacocks are more...
