Picked this guy up from a friend who just did not want him any more, I forgot the name of him, very pretty and calm.

This fish is a dark dark blue I want to say with dark stripes and yellow dots on his tail, he looks just like Cobalt Blues with the body styles and the shape of the head.

You can see my young Socolofi in the background lol, he likes the camera I guess haha.

Dunno what this guy is at all, same as top fish, got him from the same tank, right now they are in a 30g tall.

First and last fish I think are Geophagus, which are South American. The other two fish are from Africa. You should not keep Africans with South Americans.
 
Okay, the 2 pics in the middle are the same fish, I tried to get the lighting so you could see his true color but my camera phone sucks, in the tank he is beautiful I think.
 
Yeah, I was talking about the Socofoli as well, which is an African. The footprint of that tank is not that great for any of the fish you have pictured. Have you thought about replacing them with something else? Do you like Angelfish?
 
Love angelfish actually, I want to get a few Koi Angelfish, found them to be super pretty but very hesitant about ordering fish online. Sorry for sounding like a newbie which I am but can you explain footprint?
 
And on a side note, the 2 cichlids in the middle are only in the tank until I get the 55 gallon i am getting all set up.
 
Hi Kanta,
Sorry to sound like a spoilsport but if you are planning on keeping your gold severums with these two African cichlids in your new 55 gallon then you need to think again because it will not work. Africans are extremely aggressive in comparison to the severums and may even kill them. Also, Africans need very hard alkaline water and severums soft, neutral water.
It would probably be a good idea if you were to read up on different types of cichlids and their requirements before deciding what you want to do.
 
Footprint refers to the length x width of the tank. Do not include height in this
