New fish, need IDs

[kelbaker79]

So I took in some more cichlids from someone who was getting out of the hobby. He told me what he "thinks" they are, but I think he's wrong about a couple, need your opinions!

1) These are the first pair, he says the first pic is a female and the second a male?!

 

[kelbaker79]

Second pair...1m, 1f

 

[kelbaker79]

Third pair. 1m, 1f

 

[kelbaker79]

And then last but not least, this guy

 

[kelbaker79]

Anyone?? Lol

That one is a male electric blue ahli, I have one that looks exactly like him.

 

[Cichlid-dude]

+1 on the ahli, im not sure on the others, first one might be a male kenyi??

Is that the same as Sciaenochromis Fryeri Iceberg? I've had an electric blue in the past, but this guy has a night white stripe down the top of him, from nose to down the dorsal fin...

 

[kelbaker79]

**bright white**

Thanks!! I just talked to the person I got them from and he said he remembered them being call Tanzania's. I found this link:

Looks just like them!! The male is just starting to color up, but there is definately blue on the top half and yellow on the bottom half, so I think I've figured this one out!!! What do you think? Thanks for your help!!

 

[tiger terror]

the 1st two pics both look male
the 2nd and 3rd pair look like tanzanias, with the darker less coloured ones being female
the last pic looks like a very masculine electic blue ahli xx

That's why I'm trying to find out exactly what they are. This guy was just getting rid of all his fish, and he wasn't taking care of them either, so it was kind of a rescue mission. The electric blue is by himself. The other ones, there are just 2 of them each, 1 M, 1 F...or so I was told. I need to get more females but need to find out what they are first...lol
