I'd say #4 and #3 are a kendeense and a hueseri in that order just my opinion

#4 could be the blue orchid but def isn't fireline. Very hard to find a true fireline so I'm giessing its a hybrid sold as fireline. Without better pics its going to be hard to tell on #3 and #4. I know lemon jake isn't on the list of options but #1 is most likely a lemon jake

The ones your sure of are pretty unmistakable so I'm sure your right on those. There is a chance the first fish may be lwanda its very hard to tell without a picture with a very clear silhouette showing the exact slope of the head and clear body shape. Its also hard for me to believe retailers these days there's so many opportunities for mix ups especially when you order variety packs like this. You basically have to trust not only the labels the retailers have but the competence of the employee who bags the fish. My honest opinion is you got some mislabeled fish. Am I certain.....no, can anyone be certain.....no, especially at this size. I'm no fish expert but Malawi cichlids are my thing. I've kept and bred all the fish in question so I've seen them from fry to adult. Jakes have an unmistakable shape so do kandeense reguardless of size. Red shoulders are also very easy to Id. Copadichromis excluding borleyi almost always have three spots when young this includes fireline none of the fish pictured have three spots. Not to mention, I highly doubt a pure fireline would be included in a variety pack. This is a high value fish usually sold for top dollar. It is possible you got one but I don't think its one of the ones pictured (unless it's spots are hidden due to mood). One of the best parts of fish keeping is watching them bloom. You have a great variety there and I'm sure it will be awesome watching as each one matures and their species becomes obvious.
