Top looks like a small Metriaclima callainos or Metriaclima estherae showing good color already
Second pic not to sure its a little blurry could be an acei??

 

[tkdjr1186]

Yeah I'm not sure, got them at my LFS. They were all apart of their mbuna tank there. I'm uneasy about not knowing what kind, however ordering online proved too expensive. Ill try to get better pica tomorrow

The first one i wouldn't worry about he/she looks like a thorough bred fish, the second does look like an acei just not sure with it been blurry. Good, will be able to tell what it is

Agree with Malawi on the first photo. The second looks almost like a Tanganykian, due to shape of head. Will know better if you get that better photo, which I know is a pain sometimes.

Hey Malawi, you know my tank size from other thread. Right now I've got 9 cichlids, how many more should I look at having if te rest I get stay between 3-4 inches

Heres a video, maybe that will help. Each of them has three yellow circles on Anal Fin.

You do have some Pseudotropheus Acei I think. One of the fish looks like an Aulonocara species to.

What size tank you have again TK??

 

[tkdjr1186]

65 gallon, 3 foot long unfortunately

 

[Malawi MaD]

I keep watching the vid and its frustrating me lol can you get any more pics?? Well you have 6 labs so i would say another 12 to 15 (depending on species) so maybe 6 of 1 species and 6 of another species or 3 species in smaller group's. Just need to find out what the other fish are.

 

[tkdjr1186]

Haha sorry I will try to get more pics. It's so hard cuz they are quick, only slow down for feeds. I appreciate all your help

 

[Malawi MaD]

No worries happy to help. How many fish are you wanting to add??

 

[tkdjr1186]

Just enough for a beautiful set up, I have the adequate filtration for the community

 

[tkdjr1186]

I'm thinking a few red zebras, what do you think?

 

[Dieses Madchen]

I wouldn't do Zebras. IME it would be hit or miss. you could have some docile ones or cold blooded killers. I had a zebra and it killed one of my cichlids and almost killed another
