The first one looks to me like a Acei. The middle one I have no clue, and the last is a yellow lab. Sorry I don't know scientific names

Not sure but that 2nd one might be a female Kenyi.

3rd has the colour of a Red Zebra with a Yellow labs black top fun do maybe a hybrid of the 2.

The second one has the egg spot on the anal fin like most male Africans

Egg spots are not a reliable way to sex African cichlids in the home Aquarium as many Females take on egg spots as well.Venting is only true way to be sure in juvenile fish.

Wouldn't say female. The stripes are fading which would mean a maturing male.
