I'll ask here as well as a few others can chime in :wink: : What color morph is the pair?

Look like a Nigerian form. Probably Nigerian Red, as that is the most commonly available. Which means that they are probably not wild... but still very nice fish. The bright yellow edge to the caudal fin of the male, which extends from top to bottom, indicates a Nigerian form. The white under-gill tissue (I do not know the technical name for the soft part of the gill covers that can be extended when the fish flares its gills), the strong black lateral line stripe over a white belly and the bright yellow tail of the female also hint at a Nigerian form.

Ted,

Cornbread_5 said that they were "yellow" on another forum. I assumed that meant Nigerian Yellow.
