I's got cichlids

[BichirRelic]

Went to the LFS today, ESP check in hand and the girlfriend and I decided cichlids were in order for the new tank. I have 2 Venustus (sp?) and a few assorted others from the same lake and could use some help ID'ing them. Got some more pics incoming as soon as the girlfriend gets of WoW so i can use the media bay.

you have a male and female venustus it seems. the rest look like hybrids IMO.

Yep they're venustus, and some kind of mbuna. Can't really confirm if they're hybirds, but I aint an mbuna expert. Let the experts come in and help.

The non-Nimbochromis are unlike I've seen in any of my Malawian ventures...

BTW the veustus could be a sub dominant and dominant male......
If you got the rest from an assorted tank chances are that they will be hybrids.. seriously considering this since like any cichlids these days aren't 100% of what they are unless theyre wc or f1 and some people call them f1 just for a higher price :O.

I have to say, that I have never seen this color blue on any fish I have ever seen. And the finnage is very strange. It seems to be scaleless. What is the genus and species of this bad boy?
