If i rem. correctly the first is the male 2nd is female...

 

Definitely not cichlids. Those are mollies. Tell us about the tank setup they went into.

 

Its 20-25gal tank with a Large Placo, Large Clown Loach, One of them chines alge eater catfish guys prittle large for his type i belive. 4 Neons, like 5 guppies and 3 of these tetra guys i forget what they are called they have a black and yellow stripe on there fin.

Sorry I am new to all of this- I accidentally double posted my thread any way to remove the Second one?

Thanks for the help

Specific type of Mollies ?

Cant see the placo he hangs upside down in that stump log most all day.

 

They look like molliess to me.

edit: They might be platties - one looks like a high-fin platty.

 

You know what there is no way that tank is 25gal.. got to be like a 15?

 

You can try to delete it by pressing the edit button, and deleting the post
maybe

 

What are the measurements of the tank?

BTW, nice little community tank. Are you adding conditioning salt? The mollies are live bearers. With any luck you'll have babies in a little bit.

 

24inX17inX12+in
2feetwide bout 17in tall and just over 1foot deep

I have Salt but i don't really know how much i should be using how to test for proper levels.
Ive bee working lately on doing water changes because i think my Nitrate was to high causing low PH levels

 

its been a while since i done freshwater but i think there platties too
