The first 7 images are of 2 fish i currently have one was sold to me as a red terror which i'm now told may be a mayan cichlid?
and one was sold to me as an assorted ciclid :lol:
I'm looking for there proper names and anything they may be known as like loach are known as algae eaters/sucker fish/golden loaches/chinese loaches.
Any names which may help me track mates down for these two.
The large yellow one is possibly male and i think the green/red/brown one is female. :crazy:

Thanks in advance :good:
 
ok the five spot aka Hemichromis elongatus

:lol: forgot yeah i think the other is also Cichlasoma urophthalmus


The 5 spot seems to look quite different, mine doesn't have any black lines on his face except actually on his eye and his spots start a long way back compared to the ones on the images.

Although i think your right about the second one.

Thanks for your help.
 
This looks alot like te one in your picture group...but like you say the spots appear differently and the lip colour,iam not up on five spots, maybe its breeding coloration intensifying
