One on the left is a female dwarf, regani most likely. I can't narrow down the location though. Most don't have the red in the dorsal, and those that do usually don't have the blotches.

One of the right is definitely not a dwarf though, one of the sax types, not sure which, they aren't my strong point.
 
1st one looks closest to a female Crenicichla Regani "Tapajos" (due to red in dorsal and vertical bars on the back) - reference S23745-4 Aqua log South American Cichlids I

2nd one might be Crenicichla sp var Guariquito - reference S23475-4 Aqua log South Americans I

That'd be my closest guess as well due to the red and their availablity, though this would be the first one I've seen with the merged spots. I've only seen them with clean spots, hence the hesitation.

hi the first one was given by a friend . So I don't know her id.
the second one I bought as junior cincta. But looks strange...

i have aver added more pics of the second one . Check below.
 
This is a juvenile cincta. Notice the thick horizontal band on the sides and the very faint horizontal bands going across the top. This is a signature of juvenile pikes (less than 6 inches) in the lugubris group.

The first one is defenitely C.regani. I have no clue on the other one.
