Hi guys, I'm trying to identify some fish I was given by a mate and was wondering if "A" any of you know what they are or "b" can give me some idea of the genus of the fish so i can try to find a match through a website and "c" some ideas of websites that might be able to help me please.

Ok i think i have found the first fish thanks to Matt_Frontosa's hint of Lake Malawi Pseudotropheus species , i think its a Pseudotropheus "Sokolofi Nkolongwe"
The second one i know as a hemichromis lifalili "Red Jewel" thanks to Joz
the fourth one i also found as a Pseudotropheus "Acei Tanzanian Black"
So that just leaves the third one , so i will keep surfing and looking till i find it.
Thanks guys
