The last one you pictured called "blackish" is a Johanni, or appears to be.

I thi nk you are slipping ferris, that first one looks like a pseudotropheus demisoni to me lol

 

[nukeonekitty]

I think Ferris knows his demisoni

 

[chishnfips]

I think Ferris knows his demisoni

he certainly does

 

[Ferris]

Possibly one of the C.Afra species but probably a female/juvenile Lombardoi. I have never seen a Demasoni look anything like that.

 

[chishnfips]

I do not doubt you at all ferris you are the master of all to be known about cichlids lol

I just think it looks totally like these babies

 

[Ferris]

The stripes give it away chish - Demsoni stripes are very defined and remain a constant width down the entire body. You will notice that the little guy in the 1st post has stripes that fade away in the lower part of his body, they are also variable in thickness.

 

[nukeonekitty]

Ferris, you're good!

 

[chishnfips]

and hence I concede lol
