The first one is a calico fantail goldfish. The latter two (I think) are Apistogrammas. Are these all in the same tank? If so, I would try to re-home the fantail. Goldfish are cold water fish and will not do well at the temps. that the others must be kept AND they produce A LOT of waste.

Thanks for your advice, will be moving goldfish asap
 
1. Is definately some sort of goldfish mate and will need a different setup to your tropicals.

2. Male apistogramma agassizi ( not cocatoo fish)

3.Juve male apistogramma cacatoide

apistogramma cichlids are hareem breeder and 1 male requires ideally 2 female partners, but I have kept just a pair in the past. I think 3 is possibly a juvenile male cacatoide TBH due to the red markings on the top fin, but I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination :)

If you have 2 males you may have some teritory issues in a small tank. If you have a large enough tank I would suggest getting some female companions for them. Not sure if the aggassizi and cacatoide would interbreed though, would ask the experts in the New World Ciclid section
