Hello i bought these 2 pairs of cichlids(males are 30cm+) as Vieja guttulata and Coatzacoalcos. But i cant find photos of adult fish. Are these Guttulata(first) and Coatzacoalcos(second)?

I believe these IDs are correct. Looks like a guttalatum and coatzacoalcos to me. If you didn;t get them frm a reputable breeder/importer, it is of course possible for them to be hybrids or another similar species, many of the vieja look alike. But these distinctly do look like the species you mention.
Not the greatest pic, but here is my adult Guttalatum. Really great fish, hyper aggressive and beautiful. Photo is over 10 years ago, no longer have the fish.

I seem to remember duanes duanes stating that they come from different areas (east vs west). If you do a search for AquaMojo (Mo Devlin) on this site, there's bound to be adult pictures or both.
