They all look like blue turquiose. Sexing is not easy. You'll have to wait when they are ready to spawn. See their vents.

first fish is a turqouise(spell)..red turq, and the second fish is a colbalt. i may be wrong but i stick with the old school strains...too many strains in the market that can also be confusing for veteran discus owners lol

oh and its really hard to tell sex until you actually see em breed, but if i would have to guess the colbalt is a male

The more solid colored fish is a brilliant/cobalt. The 2nd fish is a turquoise (red turquoise?). And yes, it is very hard to sex them with any degree of accuracy.
