the yellow ones are Labidochromis caeruleus aka yellow labs, electric yellow, yellow prince.
the pics of the other ones are a little to blurry for me to properly identify. if you can get a clearer picture of them imsure it would help

The mom in me is forcing me to let you know that you are spelling cichlids wrong, please don't be offened I just can't help myself. My kids will still roll their eyes at me but my son was reading at age 4 and daughter at 5.
48 hours isn't long enough to cycle a tank hun, it can take up to 40 days. Since they're already in there please get some bottled bacteria to help it cycle. If Necro sees this I'm sure he'll have much better advice.
And last but not least your new fish are real cuties
If you can't beat them...arrange to have them beaten!

wow, maybe they have to be imported here?

in my LFS they have a few for $25 - $30 AUS and they would only be around 3 inches long

yes...they are awesome. however, those fishes do not grow
that much. i have some before but have to give them away
because they never grow.

LOL. 2 of them are about 2 years old. They are not like O's thats for sure. But that means not as many water changes.

BTW I have big beautiful plants sticking out of all of my Tanks!!!

as i told you....they never grow....

those big plants will keep your nitrite and nitrate
under check without changing the water. and your o
or whatever fish you have there will love chomping
those root shoots.
