ID these fish and ray please.

[BigFinn]

Just went to LFS and saw a few fish that looked weird and didn't match the labels, (several species in one tank)

I was thinking that the orange white fish was a Midas? Am I right? And I was just curious what type of ray that is. He is BIG the turtle swimming by is about 5-6" long.

These fish too. The turtle I'm talking about is not the one on the surface but the one swimming near the bottom past the ray. The almost completely black fish almost looks like a jag but really dark. And the fish with a black face was in a tank full of jacks. And the pike cichlid wasn't labeled as a specific type and it just kept hiding so I couldn't get a good pic.

Ok yes the orange and white fish are midas. The black fish with the dempseys are jags, and the pike is almost impossible to id on the face alone. As for the ray my best guess is tea cup.

Ok thanks. And yeah the pikes wouldn't come out and I thought the tea cups were a smaller species of ray. Hence the name teacup

The ray looks to be an otorongo/castexi and the pike looks to be some type of saxatilis but I can't make out the species.

the turtle is either a yellow belley slider or a cooter

 

[BigFinn]

Ok. Cool, I want the pike, it's a pair. And thanks for replies
