the first one i know is some type of an oscar. not sure what kind though.

the 2nd and 3rd are of a fish that really has me confused. he was more of a tan color in store. they told me he was a jurupari earth eater, but now that he is home and i have looked at more pics online he dose not seem to match up to that name. was more of a tan at store, now has green and a hint of red maybe, and the eyes are hellish red.

any input on these 2 would be appreciated, cause i am struggling to find them.

I agree with mrmann on the second fish. The first is definitely an Oscar. It looks like a tiger oacar, but the coolest one I have ever seen! From that picture it seems to be exhibiting half of the normal black trait and half the white variation. Usually you have a black tiger Oscar or a white tiger Oscar. I want to see updates on his color as it grows. Some might not like it but I want him. Haha amazing looking fish in my opinion! Seriously, keep updating pics on your half and half Oscar!

The Oscar appears to be a mix between an albino and tiger ocscar it is also a longfin or veiltail. The second one looks like a flowerhorn as it does not have the 3 spots on its side that is a good trimac identifier.
 
Veil tail Oscar and a female fader Flowerhorn. No trimac there. Pls dont say that.
 
Not that i do not believe you all, but "if" its a flowerhorn. whats their personality and requirements? and yes i can re post more pics as floppsy (oscar) ages.

Very aggressive fish that need to be kept alone or with larger aggressive fish

What do you think goes into making a flowerhorn?? That is why I mentioned it. There are definite Trimac traits there.
 
he is in a 120gallon. tank mates of same size: oscar, 2 green terrors, parrot. tank mates of larger size: severum, pleco, tinfoil barb should the flowerhorn be rehomed or will they work things out in there?
