all are african cichlids of some sort, I believe the orange one to be auloracana(peacock) of some sort but don't know about the striped and the blue ones

Red zebra's.... itleast the orange one looks like it.... the blue could be too..... the striped thing, I have never seen in my life.... but its also really small, probably be able to tell in a couple months.

the adults look exactly the same, only bigger about 3-4"

Can you take a better pic of an adult.

adults are not mine , I just got a few little guys

Your Baby africans look good...

Found it!!!! and it is not an african.... fish is called a black banded leporinus... it is from central and south america, and its not a cichlid.... Has 5 stripes as a baby, stripes slowly multiply becoming 8-10 stripes as an adult.... oh, and watch out, they can jump out of your tank!
The only other black striped light colored african cichlids would be the frontosa, and that is definetly not one... I know those really well.... or the talapia butterkoire(sp).... and I had one of those too, doesnt look at all like the one you have.
Im almost 100% sure based on that pic, and the amount of stripes he/she has. here is a pic I found online.

not as long , these adults were exactly like the juviniles only larger ,, I'll call the breeder

Please do.... Its driving me crazy! lol... so if thats not it... I really give up..... but when you talk to the breeder let me know.

the breeder said lamprologus brichardi but upon searching the internet it's really a sexfasciatus

Oh nice work aaron, Good job getting to the bottom of it.. I still have not discovered what my mystery fish is..

Did you get this little guys from craigslist??

The guy has a lot of different africans, but isn't real reliable about the names

lamprologus tretocephalus---thanks gobluecichlids

I believe that's a Neolamprologus sexfasciatus, and if so, he's a Tanganyikan rather than a Malawian.

Oh, and the blue one looks like a Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei" (Msuli). The orange is definitely a Metriaclima estherae.

but gobluecichlid showed me the 5 striped lamprologus and matches ,, sexfaciatus has 6 stripes and yes they are tanganykian and don't really belong with all the mbuna I have, but for now seem OK

maybe we'll have to see how it grows out ,, I have a couple larger ps. acei that are ddark blue with yellow fins

hey i got some of those 5 stripe fishes too. did you get em from the guy in spanaway?

matt, he claimed they were lamprologus brichardi,,, but they don't really fit the bill.

most anything you get from matt are hybrids. no offence to him at all, he treats his fish well but you never know what kind of cichlids you're getting when they all can interbreed and all are kept in the same tank. you might have gotten lucky though.
