Bottom one is, top one sure doesn't look like it though.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Yeah the top one sure does look like a Geophagus brasiliensis. I see a big difference in size ranges between male and female. Can anyone tell by the 2 photos if it is a male or female?

The bottom pic probably is Acarichthys heckelli (although it is of the tribe Geophagini, it is not Geophagus).
And not really sure what the top one is, but here is a shot of Geophagus iporanguensus (one of the braziliensus complex)
