I bought some feeder fish today and there's two cichlid and another oval-shape headed fish that are unknown to me..
Hope someone can help me identify them, thanks..
The pictures are the best I can take as they won't stay still..

The cichlids look like Tilapia, as to what species, they all look the same at that size to me, so impossible to say until they grow up a bit.
Don't know the other at all.

I suspect the two are tilapia too but yeah still too young.. =/

grow them up a little I cant tell could be a nice extra.
You mean grow all three? There's another hiding behind the powerhead.. not sure what fish that is but the head seems interesting.. Unfortunately, it's hard to take pics of it..
I might need to prepare a temporary tank if any of them is actually unique provided they are still alive tomorrow..

Oh well.. I removed them from the main tank into my smaller tank coz I don't think they will make it through the night..
I'll post some new pics when they are settled..

I could be wrong, but the second one looks a lot like a swamp darter to me.
I think you're right.. I google'd pics of swamp darter and the images do look similar to the one in my tank..
What about the other 3 fish? I know the 2 cichlids are of the same kind but unsure of which species..

I don't think its a swamp darter as the mouth is awfully big for a darter. It might be a goby species. The minnow appeared to be Labeo species..
