Can anyone help me to identify

[Floridapierce78]

Hello. I just became a new owner of 2 rift lake cichlids. Someone called and said they just got them but cannot keep them so i took them in.
I have 2 young yellow labs, (haps) and want to make sure I can put them together.

Do you have pics? Sure someone here will know.

 

[Floridapierce78]

Yes, I thought I uploaded them. Weird. Doing so now . Why are they not in the right format. Always worked before

 

[Ellie11]

Yeah, that happens

Do you know if they are happy, peacocks or Mbuna?

They both look like peacocks to me. They also look bloated (especially the second one). They’ll probably be fine with your yellow labs as the labs will probably be slightly more aggressive than them. Having two might not be enough to disperse their aggression

We have been feeding them vibra bites and micro wafers. And cichlid flakes. Is this wrong?

Peacock cichlids (Aulonocara species). The grey one is female, the blue one is male. They come from Lake Malawi and so do electric yellow cichlids and do fine together. They need water with lots of minerals and the GH should be around 300ppm and the pH around 7.6-8.0.

The peacocks are predators and like meat based diets.
The electric yellows need more plant based diets.
