You have 3 Melanachromus Aurotis, one of the few species of mouthbrooding
cichlids (they rear their young in their mouths). The aquarium looks set up
perfectly for them. You may also find that putting a small flower pot with
a hole in the bottom upside down provides a nesting place. They are a great
species!
