I hope you are taking advantage of these resources.

Welcome! Tanganyikan cichlids are a lot of fun, especially once your tanks are established.

First off, there is a lot of information on this website, but if you are not sure of what species you have it can be hard to find. From what you wrote above, I believe you have:

Frontosa (commonly called "fronts")
Tropheus, perhaps 2 types.
Neolamprologus brichardi
Neolamprologus leleupi

For the others, if you can take pictures and post them in the Unidentified Cichlids folder, someone will know what they are.

Six months is not a long time, but with the mix you have I don't think that breeding will be successful. If you are particularly interested in breeding the species you have, we can suggest different stocking options.

Cheers! :thumb:
