I have so far came to the conclusion that the fish in the photo below are African Butterfly Cichlids (Anomalochromis thomasi)

But would like a second opinion, they are supposedly wild caught, and whilst looking similar i'm convinced they are of the same species. Would like my mind to be put at ease. The LFS couldn't comment on where they've been collected from.

The fish are between 7cm and 9cm. There are 4 of the fish on the left, and 1 of the fish on the right (the largest).

Other ideas put forward were apistogramma nijsseni (too small) and a form of wild acara. (possible?)

Thoughts and opinions?? If this needs to be moved then feel free, but let me know where it's been moved to please.
 
you have two completely different species here. the one one the right is a thomasi but the one on the left is a laetacara dorsigera
