Title: Help me Identify a couple fish...
Post by: Bremmon on March 02, 2014, 04:08:21 PM

I bought a tank full of cichlids from a local guy who was changing over to discus. He said they were all Mbunas, but a couple of them I don't know what they are. I was thinking maybe they were cross breeds any way, any info will help. Thanks!

The top fish is about 5 inches or so.. the 2nd one is 3+.  The 3rd I assume is some kind of Socolofi.

That's what I was thinking as well. (AKA "Red Top Zebra")

Per his post, if that fish at least 5", it's too large to be a saulosi.
