I Think I Have Mbuna Cichlids, Is there a chart that shows all diffrent ones for ID ? I can't take pics for some reason they are always blurry and I do have a good camera. From My searching this is the best that I can come up with but Def not sure.

Ok After many trys I got some Pic's may not be the best but here they are. There are four diffrent Ciclids two are yellow and I think are the same.

The one with the cow spots is Nimbochromis venustus, the blue-striped one looks like Melanochromis johani and the two yellow ones are Labidochromis caereleus (Yellow labs).

Watch out for your tetras and gouramis. They're going to get pwn'ed.

Melanochromis johani Right now is the most aggressive, Chases all the other Cichlids.

your going to find that most of the Melanochromis species are very aggressive, especially the auratus
