Name These Fish..

[Liam2368]

Hi guys just wondering if anyone can put a name to these cichlids? Sorry for the poor pictures in advance.
Firstly the one that's not the firemouth.

And this..

 

[angelfishguy]

first one id say some sort of acara, maybe aequidens metae,

second one i dont have a clue

 

[MBOU]

The first one is an African Butterfly Cichlid, Anomalacara Thomasi and the second looks like some species of Malawi.

 

[fishfinderdave]

the second fish looks like a milawi cichlid.
and too me the first looks like a keyhole cichlid.
by the way those firemouths are bloody awsome fish!

 

[markandhisfish]

the 2nd 1 looks like a female aulonocara jacobfreibergi . it looks very much like the line bred "eureka colour" variant

 

[Davo86]

As said Anomalochromis thomasi and most likely aulonocara jacobfreibergi

Thanks for the replys guys, the bloke in the lfs tried telling me the Anomalochromis Thomasi was a female jewel ha!

lmao!!

The Anomalochromis are excellent fish. I have a pair that would breed if they had their own tank.

Well I have a little fascination with dwarfs I have a pair of nannacara anomalas and 4 young golden rams and I'm looking to purchase some Apistogramma cacatuoides soon, unfortunately the Anomalochromis was the only one in the shop but I'm still tempted to get it and then hunt for another.

You want to be careful who you say that to.

I was considering selling mine but still undecided

I`d steer well clear of that shop if that guy said those fish could be kept together? The second is a definite aulonocara female and has completely different requirements to the thomasi.

 

[Liam2368]

To be honest he had no clue and i knew that, it's not my usual lfs but just went in on the off chance, they had a pair of uarus which I would love to take but my tank would be well overstocked with them.
