help identify these fish

[ikevi]

First off you waited a whole 11 minutes to complain about people being slow... Come one it takes time to figure out fish (And to even refresh or finish responding to other posts...)

Ok first picture. Back right I would guess a lab mixed with some other fish, likely an kenyi or afra of some sort.
Front first picture. Male going from female color auratus. Though if it really has purple might be mixed with something.

Second picture Pseudotropheus crabro (aka bumble bee) can't say much else about it. Is it holding? And does the horizontal stripes become much more pronounced?

Both to me look like Melanochromis types of some sort , maybe hybrids maybe not. Might check thru the cichlid forums websites profiles in that genus to get a better idea.

i know about the auratus im talking about the yellow fish with black fins definetly not lab mixed with hm he has stripes a purple face and a blueish purple tint on his body some times

 

[ikevi]

Yep hence lab + afra = stripes on face, odd colors (ie purple and such) + black on fins and pelvic+ yellow (Where the lab is the yellow and the black fins.)

heres more pics notice how the purple fish has the same body and the same bars in the middle and the same face

a lot of mbuna have the same face. I see a lot of Pseudotropheus socolofi in it...maybe salousi

 

[DABoepple]

yeah he looks exactly like that but yellow

 

[ikevi]

Like I said mix these fish together... (Get body of an afra, fins of a lab, yellow becomes less yellow, stripes become less striped...)

Anyways besides an afra it could have been an Pseudotropheus, or even Metriaclima. They all do have the same type of body and strips... (Afras tend to stay smaller but well when you mix you never know what you will get.)
