I dont know about the top one but the bottom fish looks like a chocolate cichlid.



agreed.
 
ah yeah the bottom 1 is my female chocolate cic, but the top 1 salvini? dont look as coloured-up as the others iv seen, im guessing they are like malawi's and as they get bigger/mature they coloured-up more.

thanks people
 
Could be a male salvini. Give it a week and see if the color increases. The face definately reminds me of my male salvini.

i agree. looks like my male did when i grabbed him. his colors still aren't nearly as hot these days as i'm sure they'd be on a female. nice pickup

heres a pic of mine

cool, i do have 2 of them, 1 in the pic the other 1 looks thesame but has a lot of red around the belly.

but thanks 4 giving your thought;)

i think my lfs is a good place just they dont mark there fish verry well, these fish was in a tank marked as festive cic:screwy:
and my mini snakeheads was marked as goby's:WHOA:

its great going there as you never no what you'll find in the tanks :grinno:
