    Hi,

    Not an expert but I've reared cichlids since my secondary school days and I just love them!

    I beg to differ what barmby stated. Exept for the first one, which i agree could be a tilapia, They're all from lake Malawi.

    2nd and 4th are saulosi, yellow's female n blue's male.
    The 3rd one is Red Zebra aka estherae.

    Hope I'm of help
