    Could be Malawi cichlids, which I'm not too familiar with. Let's see what the others say.

    Where did you buy them from?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    The yellow cichlid looks like a peacock. Should be Malawi cichlid.

    Confirmed to be Lake Malawi cichlids... Their ID can be confusing... But before that, it would be better to remove the wood in the tank and you might want to consider adding some coral chips in the tank to harden the water...

    I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii

    Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...

    #1 and #2 looks like some sort of tilapia.

    #3 is definitely a male peacock.

    #4 and #5 looks like Otopharynx lithobates; easier to ID once it gets more coloration.

    Hiya, the yellow cichlid looks like a juvenile Pseudotropheus aurora, here.
