This guy above I don't know what it is at all but I was hoping you guys can give me a positive I.D on both thanks :)

I'd say you are correct on the first two being Tapajos. The other one looks to me like an Altifrons.
 
I was thinking altifrons on the second but am not sure I know the first 2 where tapajos just want to make sure but the 3 guy stumped me hopefully a few more will chime in with there thoughts thanks guys :)

Altifrons don't have those horizontal lines on its sides so that's what had me thinking otherwise.
But yeah good luck! Those are some nice fish and hopefully you got a male and female tabajos :)

Yeah I'm hoping i get a pair the smaller one looks female the large is definitely male so I hope the smaller one turns out females but I will be getting more geophagus so hopefully some will pair up but I looked up abalios and I think your correct so I'm going to go with that unless someone gives me a 100 percent positive I.d and thanks again for the kind words I love how they look thanks
