My cousin had to get rid of his fish and I took them in. I'm not sure what type if Cory this is (I know his fins look horrible, he was housed with a convict), and I'm pretty sure this is a jewel cichlid but I'm not sure ? Also, I picked up a throes little ballon GBR at my LFS that I felt the need to show off. ?

For some odd reason the photos won't load on my phone but from what I can see pic. 2&3 looks like peppered corys and the last photo looks like a jack denpsey in front and a albino oscar in back.
 
No idea what the first picture is exactly, but it appears to look like a cichlid. 2&3 are indefinitely Peppered Cories, from what I can tell. 4 is an albino tiger in the back and a JD in the front, I believe.
 
First is a ballon mikrogeophagus ramirezi, catfish is some type of cory, last is albino tiger oscar and jack Dempsey Cichlid. I hope these are not all in the same tank
 
I hope they aren't either, Your jack demps isn't looking its Beautiful self and your pep corys look sick, their fins are wasting away, most likely due to high nitrate and lack of cleaning or water changes. :facepalm:

read the post before commenting he mentioned the corys fin.

It's not a JD, I've had them before and he looks nothing like him. In that picture he is very stressed, newly acclimated/introduced to a new tank. Also, the cory was housed with a convict who shredded his fins. He is being treated with melafix/stress coat.

Its a jewl cichlid. I think. When he gets older he should turn all red with blue shiny spots! 99% certain.
