All of them are Peacocks. Pictures 1-3 look like some sort of hybrid.
Picture 6 is a hybrid. Depending on where you got them from, they are called Fire Fish. I have also seen them called Strawberry and Dragon Blood Peacocks. The Actual Strawberry and Dragon Blood or red instead of orange.
The last picture looks like Red Shoulders, but they are Juiced up on Steriods to get a faster sale in the Pet Shops. In about a month they will lose that color unless you keep juicing them up. Male peacocks do not start coloring up until 3-4" and usually do not get that vibrant until 4"+.
I have seen some Haplochromines start coloring up around 2.5", but still no vibrant colors until 4"+.
Looks like one of the peacocks (picture 4) could be a sunshine peacock. I see some yellow starting in the body.

I appreciate it.Yea that last one is definutely juiced to the max.I bought a sunshine just like it at the same time.I wish they wouldnt do that but on the bright side,at least at that size you can tell what they are when you buy them.They came from seagrest like that.

I have seen them in Seagrest. All Juiced up from Asia. Look goo when they are all in a tank, but after the Customer buys them, They los eit in a month and your stuck with a dull fish, until they grow and mature.
I've always stayed away from Asian Africans for that reason.
