is anyone experienced with identification?

One of the most controversial species in the hobby, general Cichlid conversation happens here!

I'm pretty sure the top one is a not yet fully colored Aulonocara stuartgranti "Ngara" or Ngara Flametail Peacock, seems to fit. The other two are likely Labidochromis Liongi, I've seen comparison pics and they match up pretty well. If that's the case, I've heard they can be pretty rowdy and might not be the best match for less aggressive Cichlids. How big are they, by the way - still coloring up, I assume?
