Fish ID help please

[scottminot]

I bought a 125 gallon last week that came with fish. I need some positive ID on some of them. Pretty sure the first one's a severum.

Don't know what kind of catfish this is. It's about 7" long.

1st one is a green severum,
2nd is wrongly called Geophagus jurupari (can't think of proper name)
3rd I don't know
4th looks like a hoplo catfish

3. Cobalt Blue Cichlid - Maylandia callainos

Thanks guys! Two down, two to go.
Here's a pick of another that I know nothing about.

Here's a pic of the entire tank. Bought it all from a couple that lost interest in fishkeeping. Got all of it for $300.

$300? man, i wish i had people in my area who would lose interest in fishkeeping like that! great deal!

Just did a little searching around with the help that I got and I that I got some positive ID on all of them.

1. Green Severum (Heros severus)

2. Earth Eater (Geophagus jurupari)

3. Blue Cobalt Cichlid (Metriaclima callainos )

4. Brown Hoplo Catfish (Megalechis thoracata)

If they are wrong let me know. The Blue Cobalts are Lake Malawi cichlids and the others are Americans. I know they require different water parameters but the Cobalts have been doing great. There's a breeding pair that are always producing fry. The people that I got the tank from kept the ph at around 7.0 without any problems.

thats a tiny heater you have there.

There's two Penn-Plax heaters in the tank. A smaller one located in the right side of the tank and a larger one located in the left. I'm not sure what the wattage of the heaters is but they do a good job.

seems to be a breeding pair of colbolt blues as well. The first 2 are American Cichlids and the colbolt is a african.

Lovely tank and fish, you are very lucky to get all of that for $300!!

I wish people round here would do the same thing but i've never seen a deal like that.
