"new " used 55 gal ... need ID on Tangs? please

#1
I just received a used 55 gal tank with all the trimmings , including fish. Previous owner said that they were tangs... being new to the hobby I was hoping for some input... Here are a few pics

Here is one of the tank


Does anyone know what these are ?
Thanks :confused:

This is day 1 of my new setup ..... a canvas waiting to be created
PS... the yellow fish is 11 yrs old

I know there are 2 yo yo loaches, a brichardi, and possibly a bumble bee cichlid,and 1 pleco :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

For the most part he is right, you do have tangs....but i see Lake Malawi species and Lake Victoria species in with those tangs IDed above.

The large silver fish in the last photo seems to be a type of Placidochromis, most likely Placidochromis electra with a different color variation, a hap from Lake Malawi.

The fish at the very top of the tank in the first pic is a type of Victorian Cichlid, hard to tell what exact species.

The center in the 2nd picture....i have no idea, well for the life of me i can't remember this fish. Wayne always gets this ID, i never remember....
