to post pics you can use either imageshack or photobucket (just stick it in google) id say go for photobucket over imageshack, just because you sign up and the photos are saved in an album rather than like imageshack i dont think you need to sign up for so the photos wont be there forever. Then you use the code thats something like [.img]imagename[./img], hope this helped

I could be wrong as I am a novice but they look like jewel cichlids to me.

As binge says, they look like jewel cichlids, but, in the second picture, they have the same sort of shape as a firemouth or elliotti cichlid, the first picture on your link also looks in some form, like some sort of flowerhorn cichlid hybrid, but i'm no expert.

They look like some sort of Geophagus to me, and with those sparkles on the adult i would say Geophagus Braziliensis, which are definetly South American
