I don't know all the experts must be off for the weekend..the first pic and all the ones in bowl look like Electric Blue Hap Alhi ..Aka Sciaenochomis Alhi

 

[Lukee]

li should know, there from his thread

 

[wolfcichild027]

electric blues used to have them looks like you got haplocrhromis sp and haplochromis quadrimaculatus

 

[blacktip]

#1 and #3 are electric blue haps - 6"-8"
#2 looks to be a male redfin borleyi - 4"-5"
#4 is an OB peacock - 4"-5"

30 gallons would not be big enough for these guys long term.

black tip is correct on most, I think the last might actually be an ob Sciaenochromis fryeri (A hybrid either way.)

Anyways info on the fish:

1.) http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1257 (Can't tell you exactly what area it is from...)
2.) http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1009
3.) http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=2586

And a 30 is not a good final tank. I would say that you would need at least a 55, and a 75 or bigger would be best.

 

[Lukee]

would it be okay just to have 1?

 

[ikevi]

The idea is that these guys get to be ~7-8 inches... Here is some good advice on what you can put into different tank sizes and the fish will survive and be happy enough to breed. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/quick_reference_list.php

ikevi was right. The fist picture is an Ahli, the second one is a Borleyi, and the last seems to be an OB Ahli rather than an OB Peacock. I would have to say no on any of these fish in a 30 gallon.
