Bottom one is a white lab. But top pic is idk. Maybe looks like an aurora female. Someone here will chime in to identify it.

Thanks for taking a look SirWes. Not sure if it comes through in the photo that the bottom fish is really blue and metalic-ish.

You can image search Pseudotropheus socolofi and see if that's what your fish in picture 2 looks like.  (It looks whiter than socolofi in your photo.)

I'd say more Socolofi than lab, but I used to have a Socolofi, and this one is more, well, metalic looking. Not sure how else to describe it. It just has this really interesting sheen to it. I'll see if I can get a picture that shows that better.

Well the shape of the lips reads Labidochromis Caereleus. The body color might make you think it's Socolofi,but Caereleus actually means blue.L. Caereleus,I believe can be blue. You may have one here. Or a hybrid Lab/Socolofi

I guess master chi has a point.  Look at my white labs lips and your fish's lips. Look similar.  But the socolofi lips are less pouty.

But master chi. What about the other fish what is it?
