MALAWI SHOOT, ID HELP TOO

[joecoulson]

Here are most of the inhabitants of the 65, I picked these fish up all together and they have been together since they were <2". I know some of these (at least I think, but any input would be great b/c I am really clueless when it comes to Malawi cichlids. Hope you enjoy the shots, they enjoyed posing

1. Agreed, I was thinking Auratus, but am going with Chipokae
2. Agreed
3. Agreed, or possibly a Pseudotropheus Zebra (Mbenji)
4. Agreed, female right?
5. ?? Looks like a female hap to me
6. ?? I don't think it is a Bumblebee. At that size, he would still have the yellow/brown color. I pulled out the Cichlid: A Pictorial Guide Volume 1 and 2 books..but can't find it.
7. Agreed
8. Agreed, Red Top right?

Joe, you are right on #8...that guy is awesome...but the others aren't too shabby either.
