What Fish Are These.

The first 3 pictures I was told they are saulosi but I just want to make sure. The ones in the middle of the picture that is. I know there are yellow labs in there too. The fourth picture I have no idea what it is and I'm hoping that someone can tell me. The big guy that's dark colored.
Thanks in advance.

The first pic looks like you have yellow labs and some Saulosi. It also looks like you have a male johannii. The final picture, the dark cichlid you describe is a Male Convict Cichlid.

Awesome. Thanks what I kind of figured but I wanted to make sure.

Could it be male and female johanni?

It could very may well be, and it's most likely. Take a look at this male and female Johanni (almost identical?)

shouldnt be kept with blue rams

Only difference with my blue ones is there is 2 white dots of the ends. And it's on all 4 of them.

I was thinking the same thing. Are those photos of your tank??? Blue ram with African cichlids and no place to hide is not a good environment for a Ram. But your fish all look good.

I'm in the middle of laying all my rocks and what not in the tank. Newly set up tank. African cichlids wasn't a choice. It was either take them with the tank or they will be euthanized.... So for now they'll have to be happy in there together.
