2. Pseudotropheus socolofi Albino
3 & 4. Female Metriaclima lombardoi
5. Left side, pretty sure a young Iodotropheus sprengerae
6 & 7. Male Melanochromis chipokae
8. I think it's one of the Cynotilapia Afra variants
13. Metriaclima estherae Albino

Nice looking set up, watch out for aggression from the chipokae those guys can be nasty little buggers.

Brilliant,thankyou very much for that,the chipokae is what i thought he was,he seems to get on ok in the tank,there seems to be enough fish in there to disprse the aggression levels,and loads of hiding places too.

1 is a jewel cichlid ive got a breeding pair of them with lots of 1" fry

i gree with what others said for the rest

 

[NaughtyT]

Yea i knew they were jewels i have a breeding pair and by some miracle around 30 babies survived in the cichlid tank,they have since been traded at the LFS and it looks like i'm expecting another spawn soon.

Thanks for all the id's thats a huge help.
