I have a 20 gallon tank with 4 cichlids I got at Walmart. It says they are african, but I can't figure out what kind. One is a medium orange about the color of a light platy. One is a very light blue, one is a grey color with blue over tones. The last one is yellow with black strips. Can any one help me with figureing out what type these are and what needs they may have?
 
Unfortunatley I get the feeling that walmart sold you mbuna, and that they will not work in a tank that small in the long term. It's possible that the yellow with black stripes is a crabro (bumblebee) and if this is so they need a 55 gallon 4 foot tank minimum.

A species identification can't be made off that description, there are too many similar ones. If you can get some photos up that would help a lot.
