help me identify my fish species

[taybay]

I've got six african cichlids and i'm hoping someone can help me identify them.

the sucker fish looks like an albino chinese algae eater to me.

as for the others, they're a mix of cichlids - there are just so many varieties out there, it's tough to pinpoint the exact ones from just pics.

**** edit - didn't catch that you already mentioned they were cichlids, my bad

The bright yellow one on the right, I'm pretty sure that's a yellow lab. Then the one right below it, that's probably an electric blue. You know, you'd likely find these in the "assorted" section at a local fish store. That's about all I can help with, sorry.

I'm pretty sure the first one is a giraffe cichlid, I recently got two of them myself and was warned they can get quite large.

Top left I'm pretty sure is a venustus, which is essentially a giraffe cichlid. Top right looks like it could be a labidochromis sp, but I'm not entirely sure. Middle left is a nice fish, but I'm stumped on the ID. Middle right I think is a maingano cichlid, and bottom left seems to be a peacock cichlid. Bottom right, as previously mentioned, is a Chinese algae eater.

id have to say 1st, venustus is a strong possibility, 2nd looks like a mix of rusty and yellow lab, 3rd still unsure, 4th might be a johanni, 5th possibly an aulonocara, 6th and that sucker fish is likely a sucking loach

Thanks for all the input, really appreciate it. I actually did some research online as well and got different results, so I guess it's not just me who's unsure.

For the third one, I was told it could be an Afra, but the stripes on mine seem lighter than the ones I found online, so I'm still not convinced.
