Well have had these for quite awhile now.... I pretty sure i know what type cichla they are but just wanna get some of these "cichla-oligist" opinions on them.... (All pic were taken with a cell phone and right after they got done eating)
As specific as possible with ID....
Thanks in advance......

1 and 2 are kelberi WC, RA? 3 is brokopondo, maybe guyana ocelleris but i more think Broko. I'm not an expert, just my opinion, I've been wrong more than I've been right.

There is a chance 1-2 are mono/pleizona, but my 0.02 is on kelberi.

Ra's go through a weird looking juvenile phase, I don't think this is a fake one. Mine looked just like this at that size and was fully spangled and gorgeous by 12". I'd take this one in a heartbeat, its gonna be a stunner.
 
# 1 is a ra and isde is so true about the way the colors are one day she can be beautiful and another day is can look washed up... Hopefully as it grows it will become a steady color....
#2 this one is the one am not sure about yet this is the reason i need some more expert opinions..... This was bought from "OSA from Rhode Island" was sold to me as a SAO FRAN..... I caught it the day it arrived and he said he hasnt had one of these for the longest so i told him to ship it my way..... But still not sure because this also can have a blueish color to her one day then get dull another....
# 3 def is a broko....

Dont know bout #2 i need some more opinions maybe i can catch it on its good day and snap a pic for u guys.....
