Some Pics Of My 65Gal

Not very haha I'm laying on the cough which is about 3 metres away, and if I didn't know it was there I probably wouldn't see it
 
Well I've decided to go ahead and do a cichlid tank because the ph of my water is perfect for it, farewell tetras I hope the LPS finds you some good homes. Now just invade some of you are unaware I'm building a 150 us gal tank either this summer or next summer so my current tank should be moe then enough to house these few fish. I went to the LPS and fell in live with most of what they had but decided to only take 5 home for now.

I know I got a bumble bee cichlid, and a jeweled cichlid the other three I forgot.


But I have some pics along with a video so any help identifying would be great. I think the blue one is a frontosa but the label at the LPS said something different.

Hope you guys enjoy :D I know I'm loving the new fish already and so far I haven't seen one fight :)
 
I'd like to get a few more for sure, I really want a frontosa and I'm not sure if the blue one is or not, so if its not a frontosa I'd like to buy one of those, and I also really want a blue dolphin. Asides from that I think this tank is pretty much stocked. I need to buy a different substrate for it and I need to find a way to my local lake so I can oick up some nice rocks and re scape this tank
 
Thanks slim, I'm pretty happy myself I love the colors now, I want to go buy a black background, and a piece of ocean rock and see if it effects my ph. If it doesn't then I will buy more along with some light brown sand for a substrate. Also I discovered more of their names

Bumble bee cichlid- the yellow and black one
Kenyi cichlid- the blue one
Yellow lab cichlid- the pure yellow one
Jeweled cichlid- the darker brown one with rainbow scales

I still can't find the name for the one with red eyes, but the girl said when it gets bigger depending on sex it will either turn orange or red and have stripes.
 
Actually I think I found it, although I don't think it will get stripes... I found a pic of an albino red top cichlid and it looks almost exactly the same
 
Sounds good! How are they settling in? Have you added any more to the tank aquascape wise? Would love to see some more pictures! :)
 
Actually I have added aqua scape but it was just some cheesy plastic log until I can get into town to get the real stuff. They all settled in awesomely. One worried me the first two days but he got better and is now swimming happily. I will take a vid how does that sound?
 
UPDATE:

Well yesterday I went to my LFS to replace my crayfish, also picked up two new fish for my tank. I got one male and one female kenyi. Here are a couple pics. The male is very social while the new female has been getting bullied, so she is still a bit shy and getting this pic took a bit.

First the female

And then the male

I'm hoping that my male will breed with one of the two females
