Hello i have six african cichlids. Could someone please identify them for me.

Also one sucker fish

Mikey1 · Apr 16, 2013

the "sucker fish" appears to be an albino chinese algae eater,

the others are a variety of chiclids, there so many varieties its hard to tell from pics

**** Edit, didnt realize u already said they were chiclids

I think the bright yellow (first on the right) is a yellow lab. Then the one directly bellow that is an electric blue. You'd probably find these guys in the "assorted African cichlids" tank at an LFS. That's all I can offer though. Sorry.

Thanks everyone , when i did the look up online i got different answers to these also. Turns out everyone has a different idea. Thanks

The third im feeling i was told it being a Afra. But his stripes arent as dark as the ones online so im not sure.
