I need help classifying my new cichlids. *pics*

[HypeMan808]

I just bought 7 Cichlids. The previous owner told me that they were psu. demasoni's but I beg to differ.

I told him i'd pick them all up before hand. When I seen them I knew that they weren't demasoni's but I didn't want to say that I didn't want them so I stuck to my word and picked them up.

Here are some pics if anyone could help me.
Thanks.

stressed out demasoni? Or maybe elongatus (might of spelled that wrong). I'm not sure.

is there a dead one in the second or third pic?

body shape isn't Dems, it looks like elongatus' def. In the pic it's not a dead one, if you look close in that pic the tail is covering the head of the fish and it just seems like it's upside down.

Here's a pic of the Pseudotropheus Elongatus, look familiar, pretty fish nonetheless:

Yeah, It's surely not stressed.
I had them for a month or two.
At first I thought they were because of the colors then that was how they really were.

and no the fish isn't dead.

Thanks for your inputs.
That what I was thinking also.
elongatus...

Anymore inputs?
Just to get a little more clarification.

I agree with psuedotropheus Elongatus, almost thought mabye socolofi but with those there isn't the stripes and they are powder blue also the shape of it fits for Elongatus, I hope you didn't pay a hefty price as Demonsanis are definitely more expensive!!

i agree with all, you did not buy what you were told... but they are nice looking cichlid's..

 

[HypeMan808]

Thanks guys.
And I bought them for $5 each.
Not to bad. I think...

Here's mine:

I was told meleanochromis interruptus. Was I given false info?

I'd agree with Melanochromis interuptus. Pseudotropheus tend to have a bulkier body than Melanochromis and the fish pictured are quite slender.
