I don't know much about cichlids, so I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right cichlid section. A friend of mine bought me two cichlids he found for adoption in Petco. They are, admittedly, beautiful fish that I don't see around here very often, so I was hoping you all might be able to help me here.

Any input is appreciated!

1st one looks like a dwarf cichlid, 2nd one resembles an acara to me. Will wait for the experts to chime in and correctly identify! :)

The first one is a Bolivian ram, Mikrogeophagus altispinosus, and the second one is Laetacara araguaiae.
 
This is the right board - both are SA cichlids. Top one is Mikrogeophagus altispinosus. Bottom one is some kind of acara, which I know nothing about. A yellower form of Laetacara araguaiae maybe?
 
Thank you all! Now to find the right tank to put them in.....
