Sweet, saw a giraffe at a zoo once.. didn't know they were fully aquatic?? Your tank is over stocked. I'd rehome the giraffe ASAP. The rest "should" be OK. Gt may run the tank sooner than later though.

Very cool, always cool to learn of a new Cichlid I knew nothing about. Your LFS is clearly better than mine. I very rarely see anything other than mainstream chichlids at mine.
I was gonna guess acarychthys heckelli, but Cupido was actually stuck in my mind as well
Yeah, a green terror probably won't be the best companion for a threadfin acara. The venustus (giraffe) should be rehomed as it's from Lake Malawi in Africa and not going to be a suitable tankmate for you south/Central American species that you listed.
Please research the species you're about to purchase BEFORE you purchase. It'll save you a lot of headache, trust me
