Iding My Fish

[doktor doris]

Hullo,

I originally ordered some fish from a chap on ebay.

I changed my mind, and the dealer bcame a bit snotty.

I was supposed to get 4 Metriaclima Hajomaylamdia and 4 yellow labs.

He said eventuallly that he had sent me 4 Metriaclima Hajomaylamdia and 4 chilumba.

Chilumba can refer to loads of fish, so I need some help, please.

What are the following fish?

As you can see there are 2 types of fish in the pics.
It is rather hard to take pictures of them, and type 1 (which I think is a Hajomayalandia) is twice the size of type b.

In fact Iam about to take a video if them and the upload it to youtube, which may make things a bit clearer.

You know Doris, I'm just not sure. I couldn't find any "chilumba" that look like yours, and TBH they all look like M.hajomaylandi to me, some just look a bit younger. I did google a bunch of hajo pics to compare.

Sorry I can't be more help, maybe Ferris will be able to tell.

thanks ever so much dawn.

I don't mind if they are all M.hajomaylandi, my only concern is if I have a very aggressive fish growing in my tank waiting until they can kick the crap out of all my other fish!

It just seemed to me that the little ones looked quite different, with their black-ish horizontal stripe.

once again thank you for taking the time to try and help me out.
