Can anyone ID these cichlids for me? I've got two pics here:

The top one's got some great color going on, reminds me of a Metriaclima callainos or possibly estherae. The second pic's a bit of a tough call, it's pretty blurry, but I'm thinking maybe an acei, not entirely sure though.

I got them from my LFS, they were all in the mbuna tank together. Not knowing the exact type is making me a bit uneasy, but ordering online was just too pricey. I'll try to get some better pics for tomorrow.

I think the first one's a goodun, looks pure bred. Second one's a bit tricky, blurry pic, but acei's a strong possibility, we'll know for sure with a clearer pic.

I'm with kalevi on the first one, looks like a Metriaclima to me. The second, I'm thinking it might be a Tanganyikan, the head shape seems right. A clearer pic would help, I know it's a hassle to get a good shot sometimes.

Hey Malawi, so you know my tank size from another thread, got 9 cichlids currently. Considering the others I get will be between 3-4 inches, what's a good number to aim for, any suggestions?

Each has three yellow circles on their anal fin.

it's a 65, 3 feet long, unfortunately

Still watching that vid and it's really bugging me, lol. Can't you get some more pics? You've got 6 labs already, so I'd say you could fit in 12-15 more, depending on the species. Maybe 6 of one type and 6 of another, or 3 different types in smaller groups. Just need to figure out what those other fish are.

I'll try to get more pics, they're just super fast and only slow down for food. Appreciate all the help, thanks.
