Fish ID please!

These fish need to be rehomed and I dont know what they are or what they get along with. They are in the same tank together with a green terror, pleco, yellow lab and a couple of texas cichlids. What are they? I am also looking for a possible value. Thank you, my knowledgeable AA friends!

#3 is a Lamprologus Brichardi

Lamprologous Brichardi - Google Search

The others I don't have time right now to look up, but look here for tons of pics:

#2 might b a bumblebee cicled.

#1
#2- Bumblebee (malawi)
#3- Neolamprologus Pulcher (tanganyika)... Possibly brichardi, though it looks too yellow IMO
#4

I'm horrible with south/central american cichlids, but I'd guess both 1 and 4 to be central american... Have you checked Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum by any chance yet?

Found it on your link. Looks like #1 is a Buttikoferi. Now trying to find out where it is from. By the way #4 is Green Severum. Thanks.

Buttokoferi is a Tilapia from Africa.

#1 +1 on tilapia buttikoferi
#2 is not a malawi, definitely a Tangynikan, just finding the correct one.
#3 +1 on Neolamprologus Pulcher

#2 Neolamprologus sexfasciatus (Gold)
Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum look at the second pic on the drop down menu.

I think tilapia buttikoferi is a riverine species.

You sure about that? I have 3 bumblebees and it looks identical.... the fish you linked has an 'arch' in it that this fish does not seem to have (nor do mine).

Maybe a better picture would give us means for a definitive answer?

Look at the second pic in the drop down menu as a comparison.

Compare the op's fish to a crabro.
The caudal peduncle is too narrow and elondate to be crabro.

The mouth structure is wrong for a Pseudotropheus.
Head shape and the way it joins the body at the dorsal fin is wrong for a mbuna too.
The body height at the dorsal fin to too great, look at the height of the body at the front of the dorsal and the back of the dorsal on both species.
The tail fin is distinctly round as opposed to crabro.
The bars are not joined along the side of the fish as it would be in a crabro.
This distinct lack of anal fin spots indicates it isn't a crabro.
The blue margin on the fin and tail are pretty distinct.

Here are more crabros to compare.

4 looks like a sevurem to me but the other i dont know

 

[JustOneMore20]

The pics of Crabros that I have seen have the linked bar pattern while this guy (#2) just has the bars with no smearing in the pattern. The face to me looks like Neolamp and that gave it away, I just wouldn't have known which one without looking at pics. Cute little guys!

That is quite a mix there!

Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum look at the second pic on the drop down menu.

I think tilapia buttikoferi is a riverine species.

That is definately it. Mine has the blue along the fins, just like that.

Pic #4 is def a "Green Severum"... I have 2 Green and 2 Gold Severums... I have my Severums in with a med tiger oscar, med dempsey, fire mouth, pictus cats, and convicts. he looks to be only about 2-4 in long you might get 4 or 5 bucks for him i got mine off of a breeder for 1 a piece. Hope this helps you some...

Probably everybody forgot about this topic as it is so old but I felt like give you a full list as I was surprised nobody could actually identify all the fishes on these pictures. I was so annoyed some of the answers saying bumblebee for one of the most typical Tanganyika cichlid.

#1 Tilapia buttikoferi (Also known as Zebra Tilapia) – West Africa rivers
#2 Five-bar Cichlid | Neolamprologus tretocephalus - Tanganyika
#3 Neolamprologus brichardi - Tanganyika
#4 Green Severum - Heros Severus, Heros Appendiculatus, Cichlasoma Severum – South America (Amazon)
