Help Id'ing Some Fish

[5150Jim]

On Thursday & Friday on last week my wife, daughter & I went to San Francisco to Alcatraz, Aquarium of the Bay, The Exploratorium & California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park & while having lunch at Academy of Sciences we sat next to what I would say was a 2000 gal aquarium & shot a couple of pictures. My wife was asking if I could find out what type fish they were. So if anyone could ID these fish I would greatly appreciate it.
TNX, Jim

The top one bufflo head cichlid and on the bottom is a kribanese cichlid don't know f I spelled this right

2nd one is definitely a krib. Judging from how dull it is i'm assuming a female.

Yep, Buffalo Head Cichlid and Kribensis*

Very cool. TNX...
My wife thinks the Buffalo Head is so ugly that it's cute.
And the Kribensisnis something she wants for our cichlid tank.
TNX again, Jim

Top photo looks like a pair of Steatocranus casuarius (the most common Blockhead/Buffalo Head Cichlid, there are 10+ species known, but not all turn up in the hobby) and perhaps two of their youngsters tagging behind.
 
Very quirky fish, often very shy without reassuring dithers and good as gold in a community, but if they spawn (and a pair will) you will see a completely different character... Amazing psychopathic parents, the only time I've had mine spawn in a community over the last four years and not lost a tankmate was in my 6x1.5x1.3 last April (very unusually late to spawn, normally seasonal in October to December). They need quite a specialist setup, they evolved in the most turbulent parts of the Congo/Zaire River (Malebo Pool region) and so need excellent aeration tanks with plenty of turnover (that ~300l 6-footer has ~8000lph from 4 filters/powerheads).

The wife & I decited Not to get Steatocranus casuarius but that is very good info TNX...
And may I steal your signature line? It is so true.
So many fish choices, so few tanks...And not enough disposable income!
