    1. Aulonocara (not sure exactly which one, could be from Maleri complexor hybrid)
    2 Scaenochromis Fryeri female
    3 Copadichromis Borleyi from Kadango male

    Yes, def think its a fryeri female, or very young male, still to colour up. Have egg spots on some of mine. I think its too elongate to be an electra.

    The second one is a female cause when I bought her she was holding fry in her mouth
    Can you perhaps give me the common name as well ( if possible)

    I doubt they would breed with each other, I dont think that fish spieces mix with one another unless we play god
