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.

5-7 have both the facial spotting and the spotting under the dorsal, jurupari won't have those. Deffinately Satanoperca leucosticta.

Agreed. S. leucosticta and S. jurupari are very easy to distinguish based on the facial markings.
