You could also do an image search on google with the word Mbuna - see if anything seems familiar

BUT - to cut to the chase - I doubt if you're going to have room for more than two fish in a 5 (actually - I doubt you'll even have room for two, but let's roll with this for now.....)

If wht u hv is frontosa u need to multiply ur tank size by 12. If its a mbuna multiply it atleast by 8.
But wht u hv (5 gal) can accomodate only a pair of tetras or minnows, guppy or a betta.

it is an african cichilid, and i was just wondering what other kinds of fish you can put with it, can you put betas with it?

In that tank, you can't put any more fish. You cannot put a betta in a tank with cichlids.

What you really need is a bigger tank for both of the fish you have.

My guess is you got a Pseudotropheus demasoni or a Melanochromis johannii. Tank is wayyyyy to small for these fish. Other African cichlids are compatible BUT not with this tank.
