Need help identify fish :D

[DrearyGrayWorld]

Ok I got couple fish here I'm not completely sure about.. I know two of them are jack Dempseys rest I'm kinda guessing XD.

Any help is very appreciated


1: I think it's electric blue jack Dempsey (male) 4.5-5inch
(not sure just a guess)

2: I was told it was a 2.5-3 inch female jack Dempsey from the store I got it from... I think they where wrong :/...

3: I think this is another (male?) jack Dempsey not sure on sex 4-4.5 inch

4: not sure what type of cichlid this is I think it's very common so should be hard to identify

5: this is another Jd about 3 inch just not sure on sex XD

I got a 120,75,55,55,30,15gall tanks I'm useing buckets and a siphon to pull water out and to put water in I been useing my canister filters I'll pull the inlet hose out of tank and put in bucket to filter once before water goes in tank.. Is that a good idea XD?

Does anyone know what this algae eater is and how to feed it, it was sold to me as a Chinese algae eater but when I looked up online doesn't appear to be one. I am worried it may starve to death as my tank is pretty clean and it will not go on the bottom of the tank to eat algae wafers.

That Texas is nice it has a really nice pattern I think it is a mix between the cyano and carpinti but that is just a guess. I think you are going to have a really beauty when he gets older. Watch out for that acara the texas will do fine and then one day will go nuts on everything. The Jack Dempseys should be able to hold there own.
