It looks like pics 1-4 are 'Geophagus' brasiliensis ... or something in it's complex.

It looks like 5-7 are Satanoperca leucosticta ... probably from Guyana due to the rows under the dorsal fin.

The last pic looks like Satanoperca jurupari.
Agreed.

The new fish in the last post is Geophagus altifrons.

The first image of Juans is not a true altifrons based on the abdominal spot. Your fish is an altifrons but location is much more difficult to assess.

im glad you cleared up the leucosticta and the juru...i had them backwards...which fish is the most expensive? will they undergo much of a transformation?
 
this is the fish being harrassed....im afraid almost to death by the altifron..

puppycenter (vendor here) supposedly sold me a balzani and a labiatus....the altifons killed on today...dont know which one yet...i love how the eartheaters are more aggressive than my polys, buffalo head, convict, and JD

That is a Gymnogeophagus gymnogenys (G. labiatus have striped tails), which population, I have no idea.

Yes, Geophagus altifrons

No, not a significant trasformation. Though the latest picture is more reminiscent of S. leucosticta
 
Geophagus Brasiliensis
Satanoperca Leucostica
Satanoperca Jurupari (80% sure)
