Bob, Let me first say that I'm not the best authority on Krib ID, but based on your photos I would say that Fish 1 is Pv. taeniatus (Bandewouri) & Fish 2 is Pv. taeniatus (Nigeria Green). It's all based on the shape, size, & location of the caudal ocelli. Dr. Lamboj's book on western African cichlids, to be published this Fall, should be a God-send to all of those trying to ID westies.
