Those are kenyi (Maylandia lombardoi) They are a type of african cichlid. They are very aggressive and do best in a large groups (12+ being best) of similar african cichlids which means they really shouldn't be kept in anything smaller than a 40 - 50 gallon tank. They are herbivores and need a diet consisting primarily of plant and algae based pellets.
