Assorted African Cihclids

can anyone help identify these 2 cichlids? I normally find out before I buy, but the shop wasn't sure, and was sitting in a tank labeled assorted, but they looked too good to pass up...

As stated in the previous thread, the first is a Nimbochromis Livingstoni. The second is a Peacock, looks to be a hybrid sunshine peacock. These are normally mostly yellow, but as they become more hybridized, they become more blue.

the first is a Nimbochromis Livingstoni, looks to be female, but likely too early to tell.
