Hello all, been reading here for quite sometime before I got my fish.

I currently have a 20 gallon with 4 African cichlids (2 blue, 1 yellow and 1 white) and a pleco. I beleive they are African but i wanted to check with you guys (the pros) to properly ID them.

Thanks!

Here's one pic

If the white one is in the bottom of that picture, it looks like Pseudotropheus Socolofi albino...also called a Snow White Socolofi. It is indeed an African Cichlid.

If all the cichlids are African, I hope you have plans to upgrade in the future because most Africans will outgrow a 20g....and even when small, they can be pretty aggressive, thus needing a larger tank. 55g would be better to start out with them.

Welcome to the site by the way. :) Do you have any more pictures of them?
