For the last one, some kind of Mesonauta species I'd guess? I haven't seen one quite like that, but I don't know much of anything about that genus of fish. They characteristically have the long pelvic fin like yours, and that same type of upward curved stripe from the eye to the dorsal fin.

hey, thanks. Def looks like something in that genus, mostly likely festivum since they seem to be the cheapest and most available. from the pics I can find, most Mesonauta sp. look very similar. Probably not worth picking up unless it's an acora or guyanae. It is 6" though, which from what I can gather, is about as large as they get.

the bottom pic (the one with 3 pics) does it have blue looking "Dots"

my guess just from the pic would be a Texas cichlid. would need a better pic to confirm.
