New to Cichlids

[AFISHYSMELL]

Hey I just bought two Cichlids from my LFS. They were unhelpful in being specific about the ones I bought. Hoping you guys could help identify the type I have.

1st one is a turquoise jewel cichlid, if you get a pair they breed like jack rabbits. 2nd one is a mbuna of some sorts. Probably a hybrid.

The Mbuna died after 2 days.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

It's ok. I think he may have been sick already. He never ate in those two days. The other fish are thriving so makes me think he was sick and the move just stressed him to much.
