Yeah the bottom one is a jack dempsy. The first one looks like a mix of a Otopharynx lithobates (Zimbawe) and a Sciaenochromis fryeri. The second one looks like a mix as well. It looks like a mix of a Pseudotropheus socolofi with something else or it is possible that it is just poorly bred strain. The stripes are throwing me off a bit. Does it always have them or do they go away.
 
Thanx for the replies,

the second ones stripes are fading as it grows

i've seen pic's of the first one somewhere before but can't remember where to put a name to him.
 
If the middle one is still small, I'd say its just a transitioning juvie Socolofi. The juveniles have barring like that, that fades with time...which apparently is exactly what its doing.
 
I agree with SinisterKisses about the second one. Go look up the names I posted about the first one on Cichlid-forum.com.

It does look like an O. lithobates with the yellow stripe but it has the body and head shape of a S. fryeri, so I am still going to go with a mix. It is a nice fish though none the less.
