Sorry for the pic quaility, this one has white on the end of it's tail, and at the edge of its top fin, the face is like electric blue blue, the the rest is kinda dull, likely because hes one of the smallest

This one aparently has the orangey face with a white body, I see the body more blue myself but..

Thanks for any help
 
Not sure but egg-spots mean it's a male and my guess is some type of haplochromis. I'm sure you'll get more replies though.
 
I'd say the 1st pic is an Aulonocara Nyassae judging by the white tipped dorsal and tail fins.

Not too sure on the other fish, maybe a male Estherae, that would explain the part blue, part orange.

definitely not a Hap and not necessarily male (females have egg spots as well).

Agree with Ferris. It looks very much like an Estherae.

steve.
 
If it is an Aulonocara Nyassae by the way, they are wonderful fish. The only Aulonocara i have kept in a Mbuna tank with no problems, coped fine with the aggression.

If the other fish is an estherae, it will be a male as only the males change colour from orange to blue and the majority of them end up half and half and never change completely blue.
 
Females have egg-spots as well, hey I've learnt something new today!
 
Could the peacock cope with more agresive mbuna lombardoi for instance, he's main problems in the tank are his bagmates a afra and polit. It's a great fish nver runs away from me and kindof follows my fingers but probally bottom of the tank in terms of dominance

EDIT-> I don't think it is a nyasse I'm not finding any pics that look similar, there is no yellow on it and I think to dark in the body and blue in the face and bright in the white to be a female, but I don't know peacocks
 
Could be this fella

Nope there is alot more white I'm pretty sure it's a mbuna, a little small to be certain but...
 
Its definately not an Mbuna (1st pic). Almost certainly an Aulonocara, maybe a hap but pretty sure its a peacock.
