Bought these guys as Rainbow Cichlids a couple of months ago. Ive had Rainbows before and these look different to me. Maybe a different strain or something. They are all about 2.5-3in right now and beginning to get yellow fins and some red around the head- plus they are pretty aggressive -sorry for poor quality pic

They are vieja/paratharaps....Not Herotilapia multispinosa as they were sold to you...the aggression is enough of a key..cool fish, but much much much larger and aggressive...
 
I agree, Vieja, possibly synspilum. Also what's the fish just behind them that looks like a yello con, is it a nano?
 
i couldnt say for sure but i think i see three vieja species,then i would say a midas at front and i can see where you get tbar from<the one at rear of shot, but dont think its a tbar
 
The one in the back is an adult male spilurum, the ones in the front are just adult pink convicts. I was thinking some sort of Vieja but wasnt sure
