So… we came into a new tank and got a ton of cichlids that came with it. Can someone help me ID the exact names so I can do more research on care, ecosystem and so on? We were planning on using this tank for discus but since we needed time to set up the tank they came in we put them here, but now we like them here and we wanted to keep them here, how is the tank setup? Adequate for them long term? It’s about 350 liters so it’s just what we could throw together in a couple days to prepare

Browse through Lake Malawi Cichlids online. I’m not sure all are LMC but many are common recognizable specimens, a combo of male and female.
I’m not really a cichlid person, but here are my guesses:
2: Dragon Blood Peacock Cichlids (Aulonocara sp)
3: Orange Blotch (OB) Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp)
4: Red Fin Borleyi Cichlid (Copadichromis borleyi)
5: Demasoni Cichlid (Chindongo demasoni or Pseudotropheus demasoni)
6: Electric Yellow Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus)
7. Sunshine Peacock cichlid (Aulonocara baenschi)
