identifying a few fish

[VB.NET]

As i get more fish, i'm paying more attention to their interaction with each
other. However, i have a african cichlids that i have not identified. I
have a solid orange one. Also, i have a pale blue fish with a yellow fin.
He looks like an acei, but i'm not sure if it is or a variation. Also, i
have a small blue fish with a black line on his top fin, and a light
horizontal strip going across his body. Any idea what these are, or a good
site to identify? Most of my fish are malawi, so these probably are too.

I took a few pictures.

Hi,

The blue fish with the horizontal stripe looks like a Melanchronis
Cyaneorhabdos - from the paler colour I would guess a female or
subordinate male (perhaps). The dominant males are more of an "electric
blue" colour - got a tank full of the things - they breed like rabbits...

The above shows a pic and some details but you might need to register
first - there is a good Species Profile section which also has quite a
few pics...
