The top is m. estherae (OB) the bottom 2 look like aulonocara eureka.
I agree on the top.
I don't think the bottom are eureka though. I've had those and I've also had your fish (definitely Aulonocara of course) and I just can't quite recall what it was...but I will post back when it comes to me :D

The bottom fish looks to be "Aulonocara Lwanda" female.
I personally enjoy the challenge and learning experience in trying to identify a fish and I don't think you will find anyone that is tired of these threads.

Possibly hansbaenschi/hybrid?
heh heh again I know what its not :D
still can't find the name but check this thread http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111304
In post 1 it is the fish to the right underneath the mbuna, in post 10 it is in pics 4, 5 and 6
and it was sold to me as an aulonocara uissiya - but I take that with a grain of salt because nothing comes up on google for that
in fact it would be spelt ussiya
