First is certainly a form of common Krib, Pelvicachromis pulcher.
Second resembles Parananochromis brevirostris. However, it has some differences from the photos I've seen. Could be a new population, or even a new species.
Last also appears to be a Parananochromis of some sort, possibly gabonicus, but that's very much a guess.
Parananochromis are not like Pelvicachromis in their requirements; they must be kept much cooler, 21-24 C. according to Lamboj. They live on the edges of larger rivers, rather than in the small streams that Pelvicachromis prefer. Primary diet is algae, but they likely also feed on crustaceans and bugs found in the aufwuchs.
