Anyone else is welcome to guess too. :)

This is my big one that I'm not sure. The lower one in the pics. About 4-5" from head to tail. When I first got him he was near double the size of the others.

Him and mohawk get a long well but he's a prick to everyone else. These two pics are of him and "mohawk" hanging out.. ID?

a shot of "mohawk" just for fun, kinda hoping the rest of that dorsel doesn't grow back. :) More cichla when they go in their new tank :D

Look like monos.

Weird dorsal on one of those guys. Should be interesting to see what it turns out like.
 
Thanks, we'll see I guess.
 
I'd say "mohawk" is an orino... his eye is pretty big and there isn't much slope to his head. The other one is a little tougher. I have two that look like him... The eye still looks bigger than my baby monos.... though the head seems to have more of a slope to it.... I know they came from Rio Tomo and I don't believe there monos even in the tomo... So it's gotta be either a Ocellaris or Orino....
