The first one is a Mylochromis sp. from Lake Malawi, though at that size won't hazard a guess as to which one. The second fish is a zebra obliquedens, Astatotilapia latifasciata, from Lake Victoria.

My guess would be Mylochromis lateristriga, my reasoning is while M. Guentheri and M. Subocularis "Itungi" also share this juvenile color pattern you'd know if you purchased one of those because of the price differences. Wild caught Subocularis sell for $75 bucks a pop and F1s around $25 +.

LOL, and I won't argue. Always been more of a mbuna guy and have never really paid much attention to which haps were regularly/commonly available.

Haps are one of the only interesting types of fish in Malawi! Mbuna are just so blah!
