African Cichlid Tank

[Clownfish11790]

This is my 55g Cichlid Tank. I have a variety of different African Cichlids, I am not sure of most of their scientific names, so I would appreciate the help.

The yellow and black horizontal striped ones are melanochromis auratus if this is a new tank you may want to remove these belive me i have just had to remove 4 there about the most aggressive mbuna you can get .
The yellow with the black fins are yellow labs.

the orange and blue looks like a hap not sure which one though

it looks like there is a black and blue horizontal striped fish cant be sure from the pic but my guess is its a Melanochromis Johanni if it is these will fight or cross breed with the auratus

you need to get some better pics for the other id's

Nice looking tank but you got camera shake my friend.

Also add a background.

 

[dthoffsett]

Very attractive.

 

[Clownfish11790]

i had a background but i didnt really like it...give me some suggestions, all the fish get along pretty well....i'll fill you in later..gtg

 

[mamafish68]

plain black background, anything with a picture on it and it will look too busy and detract from your own decorations. not to mention over stimulating for the fish.

the black will let everything speak for its self.

You've also got a couple of Maylandia Lombardoi, probably females or juvenile males (pale blue with dark blue vertical stripes)

Couple of Yellow labs

1 Melanochromis Johanii or possibly Melanochromis Cyaneorhabdos

Need better pics for the others.
