Hi,

I have been given a tank of cichlids but do not know what type they
are... If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Some sort of zebra (metriaclima/maylandia genus).

They resemble some female and juvenile metriaclima sp. zebra 'chilumba' that
I have, but I'm not fully certain your's are of the same species. As they
grow and mature (especially the males) the exact type of zebra will become
more apparent.
