#1 probably female peacock of some kind.
#2 Nimbochromis Fuscotaeniatus too small to sex
#3 OMG ORANGE male something, but never seen orange that bright outside of a hunting shop
#4 & 5 probably males of some kind of peacock, but no way to know at species.
#6 no idea. maybe a victorian of some type?

Very nice photos by the way, what kind of camera did you use?
 
1. - female red empress
2. - a fusco, probably female
3. - Copadichromis borleyi female
4. and 5. - some male peacock, not sure on the specifics
6. - some sort of victorian, probably a kyoga flameback
 
Thank you all! I used a cannon rebel Xsi to take the pics with. 55mm lens. As for the C. Borley's yes it's super bright orange and I have ones where they are super pink haha. I have about 20 species in my tank and trying to ID them all haha

I agree on these Ids. 4 and 5 might be a sunshine male peacock as they are very common atleast around here.Also 1-3 look too small to be 100% on the sex at this point.
 
It is for the red fin variety, yes. I've bred many that looked just like that.

Yea, I have some now.. They are one of my favorites.. I actually got bummed out when I bought a batch of 4 once and they all turned out to be males.. The females are nice looking too.
