I'm just starting with the cichlid hobby and got some cichlids from a local pet store from a tank that said assorted cichlids. I'm doing my best to figure out what they are. Any help would be appreciated.received_1212755565476004.jpeg received_1212755582142669.jpeg

It's basically impossible to ID albino mbunas, because they are all nearly similar in shape. So without color to help differentiate one from the other, what have you got?
Just like any albino cichlid within a genus, the only way to ID is to count fin rays, and compare to the scientific litererature as to which have (as an example) 9-10 soft rays, or 11 -12 after you count them, and hope it wasn't hybridized somewhere along the line.

so far I see an Electric Yellow Lab., a Red Zebra and I think an Auratus (but could be a Johanni) ...and.....Guppys and RosyReds????!!......like duanes duanes said, the albino could be anything....

Can you take some better pictures?
