Are these two africans the same species?

[Red Devil]

I have to be honest ..i lost track..got them from neighbor a while back ..not sure what they are and not sure what their sex.. are they the same type.. have them in two different tanks and to me i thought i was looking at the same fish. See if you help ..The first four pics are the one fish and last three pics are the other..thanks!!

maybe since they have the same shape and fins BUT one seems to be a ast peacock chiclid maybe im not an expert.....
and the other seem to be maybe a yellow lab chiclid or elcetric yellow chiclid?

other then that they both seem to be the same species.


i know this doesnt help

I would say they are both hybrids with likely some of the same fish in them. They might even have some albino in them. (Though are the fins white, or blue?) Base seems to be zebras of some sort, mixed with who knows I do like the body/fin contrast with colors though.

Thank you..they are both a pretty fish but i just don't want them to breed then.. so i want to put them where that won't be possible..thanks Ikevi!

Not hybrids at all. The orange one is a male Red Zebra and the other one is a female peacock.

Do you mean the top three pics are a male red zebra and the bottom pics are the female peacock or vice versa? Thank you very much Tarheels.. that makes things alot better.

Something about the last one looks funny. Sorta like a red zebra/yellow lab hybrid.
