My dad has had these in his tank for a long time but does not remember what they are. Yellow is about 6" long and the other is about 4" and normally showing much darker black & white stripes (camera flash brought out a lot of blue).

Changing him over to a peacock tank soon and these are to large to play nice, so will be re-homing them soon.

Looks like a Red Zebra and a Socolofi. Both can be bad actors. scratch

The yellow one looks like a big old male Metriaclima lombardoi (aka kenyi).

Yeah, it's not a red zebra. Looks more like a kenyi to me too. Bada$$ mbuna for their size.

I'm sorry, you guys are right. I didn't notice the faint bars the first time I looked. Embarassed

Definitely a Metriaclima lombardoi. The yel/org one is the male and the blue the female. My son had a pair until they began to dominate all the other fish in the tank, so we got rid of them.
