My bruv bought a tank intending to keep turtles in it,but the tank came with fish... :rolleyes:

I'm not up on cichlids id's,wondering if you lovely peeps can help indentify what he's got please.Theres a catfish also,but in hiding,hence no pic...
sorry pic heavy.







 
Pics 4 and 5 the blue guy are what i have with no success ful id yet so i'd love to see if you can get an id on him.
the yellow with a black trim on his fin i would say yellow lab.
Hope im not way off and thats some help.

Could be a hybrid, but going by mouth shape and body, it looks like an African cichlid..
 
pic 1 is hap sp.44
pic 3 , far right yellow lab , on the left with horizonbtal stripes is melanochromis auratus , which have a reputation for being psycho agressive . the fish in the middle i would say is most likely the female to the blue fish , whos id im not sure of .
 
Thanks for the info so far :good:

Any ideas on the last pic,yellow one with black bits on?
 
Thanks :)

Just spoke with bruv,he says the blue one is more purple colour than in the pic? and the owner he got it from says she paid £45 for it,but unsure what its called...
 
Ive got 3 exactly the same that are 2 inch long and getting a nice purple-blue colour showing through but my missus payed £6 each from an "assorted malawi" tank at seapets.
