A friend of mine is moving and can't take / fit his 65 gallon tank into his new place - so wants me to take it over. All he told me is he had 6 'cichlid fish' and sent me these pictures. What type of cichlids are these and how many more / what type can I add to the tank?

What are the dimensions of the 65G? The venustus should definitely go to the 125G depending on what else is in there. Probably the moori as well.

Some of the mbuna are large/aggressive as well and would ideally be in a 48x18 tank or larger, thus the interest in the dimensions of the 65G. Sometimes they are 36" long.
