okay going to give a shot at identifying ....but ya might have a few hybrids in here...
first up is
Auloncara family, best guess,red hybrid
second is hubby's guess, yellow lab female, but i am wondering if it isnt Melanochromis johanni female
next looks like a hybrid, not sure cause of the flash but could be a.mbaenshi cross with a.hansbaenschi
next a.mbaenshi sunshine peacock
nest Protomelas steveni female, taiwan reef
next is tough, as with a few of your shots, the flash doesnt make it easy to see true colors...
but could be Copadichromis borleyi,red fin and i think you have two shots of this fish but it nearly makes
me think of Protomelas taeniolatus, red empress
the sparring duo seems to be Auloncara hansbaenschi, hubby suggests male and female, i tend to think male and subdominant.....again cant quite be exact on this cause of flash and position...
repeat of the other above, either c.borleyi red fin or red empress
next is melanochromis johanna male
next is Sciaenochromis fryeri,electric blue
next possibly victorian rock krib
next Auloncara eureka red
hubby says looks like another electric blue

if all those auloncara are in the same tank? all those fry? could be any ones guess!...cause they cross breed and your gonna have to sell em as hybrids, which isnt that desireable....we keep ours all separated so it doesnt happen....
its like having purebred boxers and purebred shepards and letting them breed.....no longer are they pure breds and they are anyones guess as to what they eventually will look like when maturing...some enjoy the crosses, but you really have to stae they are crosses...yanno?

some of these names can be wrong for sure....problem is without seeing them, both sides ect, colors ect...its really hard to judg....~cringe~
 
I agree with a lot of the above, fry are most def hybrids... not trying to be rude, but with tank full of other males and unknown females, I would not take a guess and sell them on that...


the flash really makes it hard. try shooting at an angle.... or wait till night and shoot when all house lights are out and tank on...
 
I agree the fry are up in the air- right now& I knew they were going to be Hy's.
Im not to worried about then yet. But All the parents- (Larger ones) other then the Sunshine- Are not Hy's
Honestly didnt really like the ideal of Hy's intill I got about 300Fry...LMAO
Now its ok with me.

I agree tho if you gonna breed to sell i would of set them up all seperate. But I didnt intend to- So...2late now
Never know tho- the fry might be really nice!!!

Ill have to post pics of the little guys i was reffering to, sorry to say one thing and post pics on another topic, Altho the pics above Number 2,5 and 11 form the top i havent Id yet but I got everyone else.

The 1st is a hybreed- sunshine peacock and for a Hy- they go for good $
The 3rd is a Regal
The 4th is a Banshei-Flash burt the blue away, it is a light blue.
The 6th&8Th is the Red Empress
The 7th is the Regal and the female going at it- I got the name of the female writen down somewere......???
The 10th is a Electric Blue Ahli
the 12th is an Eurka
the 13th Im not 100% but i know he is not an electric- some type of blue ahli

Thanks Bal and Mike,
Ill post the Lili guys GL guess them....I have hit every link on Cichlid forums and still cant get 1/2 of them.
