Are these central and south american cichlids?

I'm not sure which topic to put this in, but I have a yellow cichlid with thick black stripes going vertically (I think it is called an ornatus cichlid), and a cobalt blue cichlid. My question is, what area are they from? Are they central and south american cichlids, or tanganyikan, or what?

If they are calling them cobalt blue liekly they are African Cichlids.

Nope, it's not an electric yellow; it has dark stripes.

So they are lake malawi? Okay, thanks.

Yes, those are definately Africans. They're still wonderful fish though! Good luck with them.
