Mbuna or peacocks?

I am confused with two of my cichlids and need help identifying what kind of cichlids are they.

Thanks in advance

They are mbunas

Mine is trickier. It's a 2.5" juve. Is it aulonocara or mbuna, anyone can help?

Mbuna. Probably something close to metriaclima greshakei.

Huh? What's that? I need to Google. ?

Hopefully putting it in with juvenile yellow lab and placidochromis milomo is compatible.

First looks like a hybrid mbuna, second is a red zebra. One of the bigger and meaner ones.

I would not put mbuna with Placidochromis, no. Especially not greshakie or red zebra...but not any mbuna really.

So it's OK to put greshakei with red zebra?

Given proper territory and tank size, yes. Both are actually close relatives in the same genus.
