They could be Vieja Synspilum or flowerhorns, eitherway at that size i'm quite suprised they are all living together in harmony?

may be worth posting a link in the hybrid section as thats where you'll get the best answers on this,

I'm afriaid that tank isn't big enough to hold one of those longterm, it works out as 200L (or 53G) whereas for one flowerhorn or vieja you need a minimum of a 75G (approx 300)

These guys get big and some get seriously aggressive, a fully grown Male will be 12inches+ and will usually not tolerate too many tankmates unless the tank is into the hundreds of gallons

Not certain where your located are but you might want to try some local fish shops to see if they will take them and give you credit (or just take them to rehome). Also, you could try posting in the Buy Sell Swap forum to see if a member near you would be interested in them.
