  2. The yellow and black stripes going horizontally are Auratus.  The one with the bigger patterns looks like a Bumblebee, the one with all the big spots, is either a Nimbochromis Venustus, or Livingstoni, the color in the video is hard to make out.  The latter also appears very much to be female too.

    The blue and black is a Johanni.

    Nice aggressive mix, but honestly, just from what I could see, that tank looks rather small.  You have to realize that Nimbochromis, and it IS a Nimbo, just not sure if Venustus or Livingstoni is all, is a 8-12 inch adult sized fish.  I know this because I have a trio of breeding Venustus in my 180.  What is the tank size btw?  I mean, you have a wonderful job going there with all those rocks, but doesn't appear to be enough room for all those Africans.  Those Auratus are VERY nasty fish when they are adults, and you'd do yourself well to allow a little more space in there.

    You can verify my assessment with the best place to go for African cichlid profiles.  cichlid-forum.com
