This site will probably help you out most with cichlids www.cichlid-forum.com .
I kinda figured you had the yellow labs, red zebras and acei. those are some
fairly common cichlids found in pet stores. NOTE here though if any of them are
yellow on the belly half and top half horizontal black and white strips you
should try getting rid of them ASAP they will kill almost anything even their
own species they start getting bigger they are called melanochromis auratus.
Adult male auratus will eventually turn brown with white strips. PS the site i
mentioned above lists some cichlids as peaceful and all the way up to very
aggressive now when they rank them they are ranked compared to other cichlids
not other fish, for instance a yellow lab is not as aggressive as the auratus
but a yellow lab is deadly to a tetra or other community fish. So think of it
like this community fish like tetras are peaceful fish sorta anyways, cichlids
are aggressive and pirahanas are very agressive and between each species there
are some sub species that are more aggressive then others. I hope that makes
sense.

several tanks an a pond, so they are always giving us there babies as they know
we will take care of them and not let them get eaten!!! Anyway, while in the
store a month back getting a new filter, an a couple of plat's for my daughters
smaller tank, we were given the cichlid fry. I really didn't want to take them,
but my daughter was Oh Please, Please, Please..... so home the freebies went. I
kept them along for a week and them into the big planted tank they went.

dimentions but are still a pale tan/beige to yellow color, with a body that
resembles a ram. Large eyes, and already very active. I know they cannot stay
with my angels, but they might be the start of a new adventure. I will try to
post pics soon, but based on the description does anyone know what these might
be??? Do all cichlids start out without much color and develop later??? If so at
what age can each type be distinguished? ??
