Name That Fish?

[lgarvey]

Hi,

I am after some help id-ing some fish. Trying to take pictures of mbuna is tricky I've found and I'd be best getting a fast camera with a decent lens so I can stand a distance from the tank because as I move close to it, they all dash to the front after food.

Wonder if anyone can help? I have tried to include 2-3 shots of each fish.

1. I have two yellow fish. I thought they were labs at first, but they appear not to be. I got them when they were tiny and they were yellow then. They're about 1.3 inch in size now and seem to be developing faint brown vertical bands. Any ideas what they may be?

2. I have 2 blue (pseudotropheus?) fish with yellow fins. They don't look like acei because they have a blue vertical striping, and the yellow on their fins is darker, and they have some small black specs on their fins too. Recently one of these fish turned a very dark colour.

3. I have 3 blue fish that all look similar, but have some differences such as size, number of stripes etc. I assume they're all pseudotropheus at least.

Numbers 1 and 2 look like male and female kenyi cichlids (#1 being male #2 being female)
I am pretty sure #5 is a red zebra as I have one that looks just like it

 

[Ace Of Spades]

#4 Looks to be a Frontosa that get HUUUUGE, but I have bad eyes so dont bet im right

 

[Auratus]

Four looks like a Tret to me Neolamprologus tretocephalus
