Can anyone ID these

[Sixo]

Seen these on a rehoming ad just wondered what they were?

Flag Cichilids possibly?

First one does look like a Mesonauta festivus, the flag Cichlid or Festivum Cichlid, the second I'm not so sure. @black ghost could probably tell you.

They’re either one or two of the Mesonauta species, presumably the same species if they were bought together. Until recently there was only M. festivus, but now there are 6 and they’re very difficult to tell apart. I haven’t seen a definitive ID guide yet for them.

Reading up on festivus it says they're not tetra-friendly, maybe best avoided, especially if not 100% sure on an ID.

Everything you’ll read about festivus (the accurate stuff anyway) applies to them all. They’re fairly peaceful for cichlids, similar to Angelfish in behaviour. They’ll eat fish that are small enough and thin enough to swallow, and they get about as big as yer hand, pretty much.

Good rule of thumb then

Is this a T-Bar cichilid? Also looking for a home Looks potentially hostile.

Male sajica (T-bar). They are potentially hostile especially when breeding.

I was having a look at quarantine tanks on Gumtree and just came across this, says it comes with 3 "Pearl Gouramis" of which I severely doubt that they are.

Any ideas? Thought maybe Keyholes but not so sure they are.

Photos are pretty poor quality.

They’re cichlids but I’m not sure which. They look like gold versions of Keyholes, if they exist.
