identifying my african cichlids

Post by hive8on »

I've got a few pics of some fish I'm trying to ID - would love some help. The last one, with the brown/orange fins, I'm thinking might be a Tang, but the ones in the first two pics look like they're from Lake Malawi to me. Any ideas?

I'm inclined to think the first one could be a Zebra Gold. The size of these fish, by the way, is around 2 to 3 inches.

First one, yeah, zebra type, but that's about it. Second one, I'm thinking peacock, possibly. Third one, pretty sure it's a red fin borelyi - hope I got the spelling right.
