I think the orange/peach ones are probably Red Zebras. The one with orange and black spots looks like an OB Zebra to me. The yellow one with horizontal black stripes seems to be a Melanochromis auratus. As for the solid yellow fish, it might be a Lab/Zebra mix. If you can get better pics of the others, I'll try to help identify them.

Melanochromis auratus did cross my mind for the yellow one, but I'm not convinced - the females are quite yellow and have distinct tail patterns, so I'm a bit skeptical.
