The first one is a hybrid. Most likely low quality firefish.
The second one could be M. estherae.

Fire fish is a man made peacock, so no scientific name.

 

[Savethemall]

[Savethemall]

M. estherae?? just googled it and its a red zebra?? thats not true for sure..

 

[Savethemall]

isnt it a male
Maylandia lombardoi
?

im tlaking about the yellow one

 

[Milingu]

The partly transparent gill plate in combination with the full black ring around the eye says M. estherae. There is no other cichlid thats shows them togehther. So either a hybrid or esthera imho. When you compare with the lombardoi it does not show a full black ring around the eye.
The more yellow color can be caused by food without any astaxanthin.

But maybe better pictures can bring more clarity.

Keep in mind that red zebras are not red. At their best they are orange.
