Not like most Acei i've seen. VERY hard to tell, he looks very stressed. To dark. And the Johannii looks a little thin.

The other one that you think is a cobalt, i think is a Red topped Zebra (Metriaclima pyrsonotos i think). But the whole dorsal fin is not orange, which leaves me wondering.

Could just be Pseudotropheus zebra, both of them.

yes, he is stressed, yesterday the zebra had him cornered and was attacking him, so i had to stick my hand in the tank and pray that i didnt get bit. but after that it was all good. the acei was that dark even before the move...so im not too sure... and yes, ALL the fish were extremely skinny when i got them, so ive been feeding them lots to try and get their weight up. in the pic of the johannii, imagine him with a large dent in his stomach, thats what he looked like 3 days ago, so hes getting their. the auratus was really skinny too, and shes getting fat now haha. im worried that the peacock isnt getting enough food so while all the big guys are eating i feed the peacock on the other side of the tank. and i agree, i thinkt he zebra is a red topped zebra, or something similar. are you saying that the acei could be a zebra? well looking at the shape of the face on him, i dont think so, i think that it has more of a peacock shaped face personally...thanks for the help CM, BTW tonight i might be getting a few more fish, im gonna go look...ill prob get 2-4 more labs, and maybe an auratus...and on the weekend i plan on getting a few more johanniis... or a fisht hat looks like it... :D
