Third one I'm going with P. lombardoi. Second one is some sort of Melanochromis. Last one a yellow lab, maybe a poorly bred one? (Labidochromis caeruleus)

I'll get back to you if no one else replies on the other. Try here for profiles of the fish

2nd to last might be a crabro. I had one but it was a LONG time ago so I could be wrong.

Hmmm maybe not then, I see jayjay already id'd it.

No clue on the first 2.

Vague I know, but the first one is a type of Haplochromis I think. Sorry I kept editing

I'm going with

1 - Haplochromis sp.
2 - Melanochromis sp.
3 - Pseudotroheus lombardoi
4 - Labidochromis caeruleus

Could the first one be a female fryeri?

No idea for 1 and 2 but 3- Lombardoi although I think poorly bred.
