Just my guesses, The top: an Acei Cichlid. Bottom: Rainbow cichlid or Cockatoo cichlid
 
Something didn't look right about those being acei and I couldn't think of the name i was thinking of well now I remembered. Look up Google pictures for acei because I'm still not 100% sure but it looks more to me like this http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/c_borleyi.php Here is another picture http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Live-Freshwater-Fish-Cichlids-African/I/Red-Fin-Borleyi.aspx
I agree with the borleyi. I have one that looks exactly the same and it was sold as a 'red fin kandango'.
 
Plus one on the top one being a borleyi. Either juvie or female. Can't tell the size. Bottom two could be red empress juvie or some other protomelas. Hard to tell that young.
