pictures 1 and 3 look like a blue pecock cichlid: http/www.gcca.net/fom/fom_pix/Aulonocara_walteri_M2.jpg
Just not as colorful

And picture 2 looks like a electric blue johanni: http/images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...l%3Den%26sa%3DX

What size tank do you have? Did you cycle it? And what deocrations/ other fish do you have in there.

Pics 3 & 4 look like Sciaenochromis fryeri, they are both males since females tend to be a drab gray color. Pic 2 is either melanochromis johanni or melanochromis cyanerhabdos. I'm not sure what pic 1 is, anyway you could get a better pic? I'm thinking it's a peacock or hap of some sort.

Pic 1 is almost certainly one of the C.Afra species but it's a little small yet to tell which one.

i have a 44 gallon tank, and i cycled it before adding the fish. crushed corals and 2 plants with some rocks. the fish are these 3 types with a flower horn fish wich is the same size(2inch she wont bully the other fish )

You will have to rehome the flowerhorn when it gets bigger.
