Id This Fish

[Geese37]

My friend just gave me 2 fish because hes moving. As of now the tank is only 35 gallons, which i don't thing is big enough to support these fish well, but im working on getting a 75 gallon. I think these are african cichlids.

heres the first 1.

I dont have a picture of the other fish yet but i will get it up by tonight.

I dont need to find the first one any more. I found it, it is called Hemichromis elongatus or 5 star general cichlid.
