Help me identify these cichlids...
Bought some cichlids from Xian Leng and some from LFS. Due to no labels or wrong labels, I also am confused what exactly I have here. Just want to know if I will have compatibility problems once they grow up. I originally had a jewel cichlid, the blue and black striped cichlid (blue lab????) and a yellow lab. The jewel killed my auratus (I suspect) and attacked another jewel I bought, so I gave it away. Now, this new jewel killed my yellow lab (I suspect) so I restocked some bluish cichlids from Xian Leng. Here are the pics. Hope you cichlid experts here can advise me. The Yellow Tail Acei is not in the pic coz I know what it is and it's too fast to snap a pic. All fishes are alive for a month now except a new yellow lab I introduced but was shortly dealt with by these gangsters. BTW...have a happy Valentine's day and CNY guys!

Xian Leng labelled this as red head tropheus (I doubt it)

I thought Jewels are only aggresive if provoked but seems like these fellas are the gangsters in the tank. Makes me wonder if it is a Jewel or the more aggresive Lifali Cichlid?

Though I'm not good at id-ing Malawi Cichlids, but I believe the 'blue lab' is actually a Pseudothropheus demasoni. If it is, then this fella has a reputation to be very nasty.

Pseudotropheus saulosi - an aggressive fish? If not, then a Pseudotropheus sp.?
