Those are convicts, and they are HIGHLY aggressive, especially if you have a pair, they can and will kill when breeding if the tank is not large enough

1st convict female.
2nd i believe african cichlid vc-10
 
The first one is a convict which is pretty mean.

I believe that second fish however is a placidochromis makonde.
The reason I dont think it's a vc-10 is because the bars are usually thick.
If it grows out with red = vc-10
If it grows out with Yellow placidochromis makonde.

Leave them in the 20. They're fine together in there alone. They'll wind up breeding and murdering anything they can in the 125. And they'll take over the tank. You'll never be able to remove all their fry and they will multiply exponentionally.
 
I was told the 20 was far too small for my fish now I'm being told to keep them...I'm lost
