The second one could be an orange shouldered peacock (Aulonocara roberti) but I'm not 100% because really blue peacocks have the same or similar patterns on their tail and can have a decent amount of orange as well.

I'm sure the second one is some sort of Aulonocara species, though I'm not sure which. On the second the coloration looks a little like some sort of Victorian, though the head does seem more like some sort of Hap.
