Can someone tell me

[Dixie]

What type of Cichlids these are and how big they will get?
I know the white one is an albino but what kind?
I'm pretty sure the yellow one is an Elecrtic Yellow and I have read about it.
The next pic is of the blue one and I don't know what kind it is either.


Thanks for looking,
Dixie

yellow ones look like they could be male kenyi's and they will get about 5", but im not sure what the blue one is sorry

the yellow is a kenyi i think, albino is a snow white socoloffi, and the blue one maybe a female auratus?

Thanks for the info. I'll go look up these new names you gave me. This group rocks!
Patrick said the yellow was probably an electric yellow (Labidochromis caeruleus)... I've looked that up and think he's right (Thanks so much Patrick ) but I will look up kenyi too to be sure.
Much appreciation,
Dixie

The problem with Malawi Cichlids is that many of them look very similar which is why, at least around here, many pet stores have them named wrong.

The yellow one, to me at least, does look like a Yellow Lab (Electric Yellow) but the similarites between them and a Kenyi is very similar.

As far as the blue one goes, it's a Mbuna for sure, maybe a Melanochromis Johanni?

i havent had yellow labs in quite a while, but it does actually look like one
