Id Some Fish

[three-fingers]

Really should brush up on my African cichlids, can anyone do me a favour and ID these?

I think the one on the right is a pseudotropheus elongatus,
no idea on the other two, their genes look a bit muddy to me but it could just be the pic

Thanks, yeah this is a secondhand tank that my cousin get as a present, unfortunately knowing nothing about African cichlids...or tropical fish in general. So have no idea what they were purchased as, they could well be hybrids. They seem to be doing well though, she intends to give them great care.

I'm going to be helping them out with options for tank mates and setting up a 4' for the existing fish + others.

It's a shame I know so little about lake cichlid species.

Any other IDs appreciated, even down to the genus level so I can get some idea of their diet .

Pseudotropheus elongatus looks right - this guy is the dominant one in the tank.

They are all mbuna cichlids so a spirulina enriched flake mixed with a decent african cichlid pellet food (e.g. Hikari excel) would be an ideal staple diet
