Aulonocara maylandi should be the first one. Not sure on the second.

 

[ltrepeter2000]

Paracyprichromis nigripinnis should be the second

You're right on this one, but it's not a Aulonocara maylandi.

I would say the first one is a variety of otopharynx lithobates.

Hey Donna, you have to admit it's a cool game. Wanna Play???[/b]

LOL, I don't know what any of the fish are yet! Best names I can come up with are "Joe Bob" or "Matilda"

Even if I don't get a guess though, it's helping me to learn..........

Donna, Me too, Me too!
This game is helping me learn.

Does anyone see resemblance, at least in the colors, to killiefish? Oh, that's right. One of the rules of this game is that the fish has to be a cichlid. (Silly me, I know what the second C in CCA stands for...)

So far on this Paracyprichromis nigripinnis I found out that this Tang is mildly aggressive, gets up to 4 inches, likes hard water, and is an carnivore. Nicknamed the 'Blue Neon" it is a striking fish. (Another compelling reason to think about setting up a Tang tank!)

Copadichromis virginalis Yellow head is the answer!

 

[Sonny Disposition]

That was my very next guess.

I wonder if anyone in the club has this fish? I wouldn't mind having one for myself because it looks awesome.

I had some back in Sacramento about 3-4 years ago.

They aren't that dark all the time (more silvery 99% of the time), although pretty none the less. I found that they're really peaceful, so I kept them in a 40g species tank (not with other Malawi).

He looks cool!!!

I presently have a Male Maylandi and a Yellow Blaze, which are both similar in appearance, but that Copa Virgi is AWESOME DUDE! The Mlotto looks just like it, but it has a white head instead. If anyone has one, please let me know.
