Both look like Peacock Cichlids, probably different species of Peacocks.

The one in the third pic I've had before he has a few common names The most common one I've seen is the Red top ice blue (red fined zebra cichlid i've also heard) Just a word of caution that cichlid for me was VERY aggressive killed 4 other cichlid in my tank had to get rid of him sadly, lfs took him for me. the other one is most likely a type of peacock, as the above post says, just not sure what type will try to find out.

The peacock is probably an OB peacock.
