The first one MAY be a Labidochromis perlmutt... compare it to this pic and tell me if that's it.

I agree... the 2nd pic is the acei... compare it to this one:

The third pic is very hard to tell even what kind of catfish it is... is it a sucker-mouth cat? Or a Synodontis type?

If sucker mouth, it might be a gold nugget pleco

If Syno type, it could be an angelicus

or

But both of those fish are hard-enough-to-find and expensive enough ($40+) that you'd probably know what they were if you bought them.

The fish in question looks like a female Metriaclima greshakei
to me. Always ask for the latin name when buying fish, especially Malawi cichlids because..
1 There are so many Malawi cichlis that look the same
2 Hybrids are also very easily sold with laymans names.
