first is mono or ocel


not sure on the second one...mouth shape doesn't look cichla at all.
 
I am thinking Orions and the last one does not look like a Tem to me but I could be wrong. How big is he? I really don't think so. He doesn't have the same fin structure as PB.
 
that second one isn't any cichla that i've ever seen.. looks like a snook. maybe one of the "green" or "regular" bay snooks. Petenia splendida. if so you made out like a bandit. red bay snooks are hard to find in LFS and green bay snooks are all but impossible to find.

i can officially say, i'm jealous. i love my snooks almost as much as i love my cichla.

the first one looks like an occelaris to me.
 
1st ones are mono/ocell that 2nd one dosent even look cichla!
 
mono or occel
And the other one looks like a Bay snook.
