Ignore the bogwood - it's only in there for the plecs and they are going to be moved later.

2) Venustus?

I'll try and get some better pics soon as working with limited light on this tank.
 
#2 looks like its possibly a Placidochromis Milomo rather than a Venustus.
 
Not got the same upper lip.

Pretty sure it's a Venustus as always has a blue face and he has giraffe markings. Bloke I got it off said he was sold as a Livingstonii, but I don't agree.
 
This was my Livi...not all that much resemblance there.

Had blotch markings but face only showed the blue sporadically. Your probs right about the Milomo - although I read that tank bred lines don't always have the "rubber lip" that you see on the wilds. Either way, glad you've got a big tank as he looks like a bruiser!

Sorry I can't be more help, but sure someone will be able to ID the whole lot for you and much more accurately than I could!
