hopewell,va
I need some help. I have little to no idea what these are so please help me idntify these fish. One i think is a flametail peacock the others I don't know.

The first is the flametail and an unkown fish. I think it could be a female copidichromis azureuz and the blue one is what I believe to be the male. I don't knoe though. I have looked on cichlid forum at the profiles page and I can't tell. I know the big red one is a red fin borlyi though for sure.

thanks in advance:)

On the rest... I have guesses but they aren't sure enough to mention. I would suggest giving them some more time to tell. I don't even know if "3" is a female. (Though it may be just can't say for sure.) And I would say that you only have 1 peacock, ie the last one on the right. But well that second one, has some traits just looking at its head makes me think not peacock though.
 
Ya I knew about the red fin borlyi and I know the blue and orange one is a peacock just don't know what kind. the blue is definitly not a peacock some sort of hap and the female i'm thinking is the same type of fish. They are all 4" plus by the way. Thanks though. any more suggestions.

I really would llike it a w lot if the blue one and the female were Copidichromis azureus. I'm sure that's just wishful thinking since the LFS i'm dealing with sucks and sells everything as peacocks. Igot a fosso. Rostrotus as a peacock from them one time. WOW right? thanks again.
 
I was think that you maybe right on the azureus, but with that one I try not to jump the gun. With the trade the z-rocks are becoming so popular that hybrid of them are everywhere and really making it tough.
 
I know what you mean Mike. Iget no help from the LFS. I've been doing this fish thing for 15 years now and most of the fish they get "pure breed" look more hybrid then the ones I just close my eyes and dip into the mixed tank on. Thanks man.
