Chocolate chiclids

I think they are chocolate cichlids Hypselecara temporalis.

The name quetzal cichlid is usually used for Chiclasome/Vieja/Paratheraps synspilum which is a much more colourful fish (even if no-one seems to be sure of its name ).
I have never kept the chocolate cichlid but I used to visit the fish houses of people who did, so I am sure of this identification.
Were these the only cichlids in the tank?

Yes there were other chiclids in the tank so it's well possible I misindentified them, thanks for clearing this up !
