oh and here is a pic of two of them after i put them in the tank (dont mind the Vieja):

I would say labiatus.(big lips) first one for sure

 

[cchhcc]

If not a mix, then I'd lean toward labiatus. I'd love to have fish #6!!!!!

Good luck with them!

look like labiatus to me

1 & 6 look Labiatus (Lips).
The rest maybe not, although I'm not sure which Amphilophus Sp. they are.
With out seeing the parents and so many hybrids around it's hard for me to tell, they could all be a mix with some showing more dominate Labiatus genes than others. I'd be interested what others think.

I forgot to add I think they will growout to great looking fish!

 

[uncwnells]

I agree that one, five and six look labiatus to me, other look to be mixed or otherwise.

They all look mixed to me. Some show the longer face and lips but they all look a little tall bodied to be pure. I'm no amphilophus expert though. There's not really going to be anyway to know for sure without knowing were they came from.

Nice looking juvies either way!!

All look labiatus,to me, except maybe 2 & 3.
