[GSAS-Member] Any good sites for identifying unknown fish?

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

Good morning, Yesterday I acquired 5 unknown species of African cichlids.  
They were given to me by a friend of a friend who just wanted to get rid of 
them.  They came with the tank she got for free, and she wanted to use it 
for angels.  They are beautiful, and fairly large.  I met her in Bothell to 
pick them up, and she had them in a small plastic clear container, and half 
the water leaked out so they were covered in water half way.  I ran into 
safeway, got 2 gallons of water and the only type of water 
conditioner/treatment they had.  Luckily I had a deeper and dark plastic 
container in my car from moving some fish before, so transferred them to 
this with more water, then rushed home.  They all made it.
I am not certain what they are though.  I know they are all from Lake 
Malawi, I believe 3 are mbuna type, but I think 2 could be a haps or 
peacocks.  I am fairly certain one is a female yellow labidochromis, except 
she's a little thicker than my others and has a slightly different shaped 
head.  I believe one pseudotropheus demasoni, I think one is Labidochromis 
sp. (yellow top mbana), but the other two I am not sure, they have blue and 
yellow, and look like Aulonocara sp. (bicolor peacock), Aulonocara sp. 
"Usisya"  (Usisya flavescent Peacock), or Nimbochromis venustus (Hap 
Venustus).  They could even be something else.
Does anyone have any good sites or book recommendations for identifying Lake 
Malawi Cichlids?   Thanks so much!

Monica
