ok gunna work on your ID's
pic #1- looks like a "kenyi"- pseudotropheus lombardi- prolly male just getting his make colors
pic 2- bottom left with yellow fins are Nimbochromis venustus
the ones with blue on them are Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus
the other one with no blue on the face is a Nimbochromis livingstoni
pic 3- i have no idea.. more of the face might tell me more
pic 4- blue with black stripes is a kenyi like before, possible female, depending on age. the rest are more of the fuscos
pic 5- livingstoni
pic 6- fusco's and livingstoni
pic 7- fusco's and kenyi's
pic 8- yellow one is a kenyi again, and some fusco's to go with it
pic 9- ok, it's useless to repeat myself on many of these, so i'll name the ones that i haven't before. the one on the bottom left is a pseudotropheus acei
pic 10- looks like either a yellow lab "Labidochromis caeruleus" or a red zebra "maylandia estherae:
pic 11- venustus
pic 12- venustus and fusco
pic 13- acei and fusco
pic 14- fusco and kenyi's in background
almost to the end!
pic 15- fusco
pic 16- top 2 are venustus, next below is livingstoni, yellow one is Yellow lab, and bottom is fusco
I really think the rest speak for themselves... *wipes forehead*
i hope this helps. hope you have a big tank.. those venustus, livingstoni, and fusco's will not like each other for very long

Punky seems pretty close...except maybe for number one...something in the dorsal fin and body shape dosn't look like M. lombordoi to me...
Also...I see what may be a Cynotilapia afra variant in the lower left corner of the 4th pic from the top...the blue/black/ whitish blazed Mbuna shaped fish with the black lines along the top and bottom of it's tail fin...
Oh yeah...and that bright yellow fish is not a yellow lab (Labidochromis cearelus) it looks to me like it might be a tropheops variety, but I'd need to see a better pic of the mouth...

wow, thanks alot guys, you're very good at it :D
i am very unpleased at the sizes that the livingstoni, and fucos and such get, they might either go back to the lfs, or ill have to rehome them once they are bigger...
thanks again

The yelllow fish could be a female Pseudotropheus saulosi also.... not too sure from the pic...

yeah, i see that too.
i think you're probably right about that little guy being a tropheops of some kind. probably won't be able to tell what it is until it grows up a bit...
