scored some free cichlids the other day off craigs list but not sure what a few of them are. The electric yellows are a no brainer lol but can anybody tell me what the pair with the big spots are?

Well seems like you have a nice pair of jewel cichlids, some jellow labs, and then the big one looks like some sort of south/central american.

Jewels huh? cool thanks for the ID, The smaller one was a little beat up but seems to be getting better. The big one is my daughters that she picked out, Red Headed cichlid (Vieja synspila)

this is what it looked like back in Jan when we brought it home its about the size of my hand currently

The one pictured is a vieja cichlid and if you browse the forums and net you will find some info on them, usually get about 12-14" big.
