The 2 smaller ones appear to be grammodes, The one with the spot on it's tail is an oscar. What size tank do you have these fish in?
 
oo i knew about the oscar i was looking at the other two:p a 120 gal, but theres 4 of those 2 fish that im gonna be giving to my friend so i just wanted to know what kind they were:p thanks
 
If im not mistaken your avatar image is a picture of a Salvini Cichlid (very small to tell properly but def looks like one)... I also have one in my tank and think they are a nice looking fish.

The Salvini generally has 2, slightly more broken bars of black running from head to tail not 1 like is shown in Mos's pictures at the top of the post. You can just about see it in Mos's avatar picture (unless im wrong and it isnt a Salvini).

I think the two fish look like Juvi Jack Dempseys as Juvi Jacks tend to be a pale light tan colour with a distinct black band at the tailfin of the fish as shown in the picture. Really difficult to tell as i cant tell what sense of depth the picture is or size of fish in relation to the oscar (which im not convinced is a full sized one judging by the fine bubbles from an airstone passing by its body)
