Hey guys this is my main 119 gallon show tank :hyper:

1 clown knife
1 spotted gar
1 sun catfish
2 plecos
1 front
4 various zebras? these are the ones i would like some help identifying, im not sure what they are exactly.

heres the pictures! let me know what you think of the tank, i have been thinking of putting a black background on it, but im not sure how it would look.
Also, I want to get some nicer looking lighting. right now i just have two regular t12 flourescent bulbs and am looking for something a bit more "brilliant" i guess is the word and i would like to add some nice blue to the lighting, any ideas that wont empty my wallet?

I belive the first one your not sure of is a hongi redtop, not sure on the others though, i no little about ciclids
 
Pic #2 Labidochromis sp. "Hongi"
Pic #3 I believe is one of the Pseudotropheus elongatus variants
Pic #4 Is a Pseudotropheus socolofi
Pic #6 I believe is an Iodotropheus sprengerae

Interesting tank, I'm surprised you gar or knife fish haven't eaten the cichlids TBH. :nod:
