Hi there, i bought few cichlid's recently, unfortunately i have few suspicious about their true name.
Here are their pictures:

If someone could identify them for me - i would really appreciate it, if able please assign numbers of photos to name given (and if possible also mark if that's male/female).
Theese ones are young, still i think there is possibility to identify them at this moment.

Ps: English is not my native language, so forgive me if i did not use propper grammar or words ;).

It is more helpful if you give names under which the fish were sold. Do you have any idea from which country the fish come? Sadly most of the photos show the fish out of focus or the fish show few diagnostic features. This makes identification very difficult. These are my best guesses:

1. A. barlowi (Mouthbrooder/Maulbrüter) - male
2. A. cf. eunotus(?) - female
3. A. cf. eunotus(?) - female
4. A. sp. Nanay/Melgar(?) - Male
5. A. cf. eunotus - female
6. A. sp. Nanay/Melgar(?) - Male
7. A. sp. Nanay/Melgar(?) - Male
8. regani-group species, possibly A. cf. eunotus - female

In general, they were sold as A.Cruzi, and A.atahualpa.
Unfortunately i have no clue where did they came from (bought in Poland & distributed here as wel).
I had doubts about their true nature so i figured out i might ask someone else.

For sure eunotus would fit in here, altough second "trio" (bought 3 of "atahualpa" and 3 of "Cruzi") is still unknown to me. Hope it's not some big mix of different species.

Added new photos, i am not a good photographer - so it's all i could do for now. Numerated the photos from 1-5 for each fish, could not catch 6th one.

Other forum suggestions are Cf.Eunoti and A.Barlowi.
Could you take a look again at it and say something more?
