I got these in an assorted mix of African cichlids the other day. Every fish was a mbuna except these there are three of em. It looks to me to be some sort of Vitoria maybe even a juvenile thick skin but I'm not for sure anyone have any ideas or knowledge rather ?

These are the same fish i bought this week and i have asked to identify them in my thread lol http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/help-me-identify-these-cichlids-bought.653504/
These are not haplochromis latifasciatus in my opinion as those fish has red coloration. These are some other haps.
 
I have bred Latifasciata and those look similar to mine. I have seen so many different, but small, color differences from different pet stores or sometimes int the batches I got. It may be a dominant male thing but, in my opinion, they are Astatotilapia Latifasciata.
