Pic #1- Kenyi
Pic #2- Tilapia buttikoferi
Pic #3- Looks like a hybrid of some sort. I'm thinking it's from the Cynotilapia family (Mbuna)It's looks simliar to a afra but I can't say forsure. Here are some examples of Afra's

If the Kenyi is a male, it should start turning yellow at the 2-3 inch mark. Sometimes females will morph in to a male looking Kenyi (signs of yellow) to show dominance. As long as you have a big enough tank for them (at least 75 gal) with 4-5 females you should be okay but I would beware of the Kenyi, they can be very mean fish.
