try taking a picture without the flash it makes them easier to identify i cant see the colors.

looks like a jewel, venustus, and the blue one is going to be hard to know for sure cause it could be a hybrid. probably a psuedotropheus elongatus or a pseudo. saulosi.

They should be fine together. Your giraffe looks like a female because its lacking a blue face... So the giraffe will probably work out better with the other two fish since females are generally milder than males.

Venustus can get pretty big...10"-12" if your wondering

ok u have answered my questions perfectly so ima step it up a notch if u dont mind.. i have two 55 gallons. one has 40 two month old con fry with a weird pink tetra that survived all my mistakes rofl. the second tank has a five inch black convict rescue (kinda blind) with two golden mystery snails.. ok for my question.. can i keep any of these new fish? im not keeping the smaller tank they came with, and i wasnt planning on keeping the fish either.. they will find happy home if i cannot oh and as for the fry, they will also be re-homed as they get bigger. thanx for the help for i dont want any fish harmed (or my snails)
