    That's a peacock of some kind, probably just a standard OB.
    So african rift lake, harder water and higher ph

    The Yellow looks like Pseudotropheus saulosi (female)
    maybe Pseudotropheus lombardoi

    splotchy one looks ike what they call cotton candy and it's an OB Peacock (hybrid)<--pretty much what Fern already said.
