My boyfriend got these babies from an assorted cichlid baby tank. He got one more thats all blue but i couldn't get a picture of it

the orange one looks like an orange zebra and the other two could be anything. need some clearer pictures I think.

1st looks like yellow lab hybrid
2nd looks like demasoni
3rd looks like red zebra

All could be hybrids, especially since they came out of the mixed cichlid tank.

I'm in 2/3rd's agreement with Lab Rat!

I think fish #2 looks more like a kenyi (though, a clearer photo would confirm); plus demasoni's are usually hard finds in assorted african cichlid tanks (at least in my area); demasoni's are usually sold in species tanks since they tend to cost more than the species found in assorted tanks.

They all look like mutts to me

I would have originally gone kenyi, except for the fact that Petsmart is now carrying demasoni. I've seen them in species tanks there and in the mixed cichlid tanks. They're not the stunners you usually think of with demasoni, they look washed out like the fish in the picture. A clearer pick would definitely help.
