Help ID Cichlids!

Here are some photos I took of my three tanks, can you guys help me ID the cichlids in the 55g tank above my couch? I know I have two Jack Dempsys and a Great Demio (I think).

I also purchased these:

Can you identify the ones in the pictures?

Thanks!

Well, you've got one demon fish, I know that much. It's the way it's eyes glow for the camera that gives it away.

Those orange fish are red devils, white are albino convicts and the ones with the funny faces are blood parrot fish.
Their profiles can be found here: tho not he best site for info.

Dang! It looks like they gave me an 8" Midas Cichlid too! I didn't even know it was in there until I opened the darn bucket he sent them in (he had a friend of his bring them down in a 5 gallon bucket, he lives far away) I had to put the Midas in a temp 30g tank of his own because hes so aggressive. He doesn't even go for small 1" goldfish, he only wants to attack bigger fish.

And now that i took him out, the 6-7" Red Devil Cichlid is now the biggest, and HE'S starting to get dominant and fin nip. And if you've ever seen a Red Devils mouth open all the way, it's not a pretty sight. Any suggestions?
