The smaller one does look like it belongs to the parachromis genus. Maybe if we could get some better pics of them individually?

Hybrid, possibly. But I don't know. The coloration looks like a festae even with the spot on the tail. The head looks like a True Parrot Cichlid. My buddy had a total of 4 but I only got 2. All four look the same even with the weird head
 
Can't be 100% certain, because the fish isn't showing any color and the glair from the glass.
It could be a hybrid, but it looks like one of the former theraps or now rhoeheros cichlids. The body shape, head, and fins look very similar.
