Help, what kind of cichlids are these?

[abegonzalez0221]

Okay so I work at a pet store and we have these groups of cichlids we randomly got delivered from corporate. I’m the fish guy but I honestly don’t even know what these are, could someone help?

They are some African type but I don't know which. Here's a good reason to keep a tropical fish atlas on hand.

Aulonocara species (aka peacock cichlids). They look like females (males have lots of colour, usually blue, red or yellow) and the fish in the picture are quite skinny (sunken belly). They come from Lake Malawi, which has a pH above 7.6 and a GH above 300ppm. They are quite a peaceful fish but are predators and will eat small fish and shrimp.
