I'm not too familiar with non-African cichlids. I would guess an American cichlid of some sort. How long are they? I feel like they are still young, other wise there would at least a little color on them. Could you try getting close up pictures of each fish?

Hi here are a few more pics I took. Would say about 3 inches long

I really don't know, but 3ish inches probably means their juveniles. Try looking up "brown acara". The rounded tail looks similar and the head looks about right. It's hard to say, you might have to wait till they mature a bit.

Brown acara was also my guess. One of them looks a bit worse for wear.

My guess would be Rainbow Cichlid (Herotilapia multispinosa).

Hi all just a follow up to this, this morning they were both a lovely yellow colour and I think I have a male and female. One is cleaning one of my flat rocks so fingers crossed for spawning. So yes they are Rainbow Cichlids

Nothing as of yet, things dies down through out the day. Probably the kids running in front of tank all day.

You can't rush the spawning process, but it's still fun to watch even if there's no babies in the end
