Got 5 of 'em, including picclys. Pointed fins, so I'm guessing all males.

@oceanway, 5 males, huh. Pointed fins, that's a good call.

I'm guessing these are sub-adults, but I could be wrong. Pic 2 looks like Aulonocara nyassae to me, and pic 4 seems like Aulonocara baenschi. Honestly, I'm not super familiar with Malawi cichlids, so take my ID's for what they're worth.

No juveniles here, they're around 2-2.5 inches. Piccly 3 is a real firecracker, super aggressive. My other peacocks will chase each other, I have a dominant male in the tank, but this guy's on another level - he's actually biting at my other fish, darting at them, and full-on fighting.
