#5 is Metriaclima hajomaylandi, not aurora.

#2 is definitely not Cyrtocara moorii. It is some sort of Mbuna in the metriaclima complex, but as for its purity, species, and parentage, I'm sorry to say it's anyone's guess.

#1 is absolutely Nimbochromis livingstoni - and a very nice specimen!

#3 is a tough one. My opinion would be that it has Aulonocara in it, but is some sort of hybrid - perhaps crossed with Sciaenochromis fryeri. If it is a pure species, the only thing I can imagine it being is Aulonocara stuargranti "Chilumba", but it looks a little too long in the body shape for that.

I'll leave #4 to the Geo experts...lol Identifying these guys has never been one of my fortes. :)
