Hello. I am looking for help on identifying these three fish. I purchased them at my LFS and was told that they were cobalt cichlids. The last fish which is darker in color doesn't act like the others. After a little research, I am wondering if it is a dolphin moori. Also, any help with male/female ID would be great! Thank you! fish1.JPGfish2.JPGphoto4.JPG

Those are not moori. They look to be what you can get out of the assorted African tanks at petsmart for $5.99.

Looks like a trio of Blue Cobalt Zebra Cichlids, I'd be lying to you if I was certain on the sexing though, lol. After years and years of inbreeding, the well known characteristics between males and females in assorted Africans just starts to blend together a little.
I'd guess
Female
Female
Male (More distinctive black coloring, usually showing a more dominant trait)
