Blue one is an m. johannii, the brown spotted one is an n. venustus, and the small one in the last pic is a midas.

You can keep them in your tank for now (they don't look to be that big, at least from the pics), And then sell off the venustus it'll get too big for your 50 as well as the midas.
Wow, walmart sells african cichlids.
not sure about the blue feller...ib3ak is pretty much spot on generally though...oh hang on is he the same blue guy in the shot with the three fish second pic down ? I agree johanni if so.
blotchy guy venustus or livingstoni...hard to tell when so small...looking for an ID on the yellow guy in second pic down ? can't tell from that pic
...the midas I accept what ever anyone else says it is.

If I lived closer I would take the midas.

The midas will defiantly need a different tank. I'm sure for the moment...he is fine, but before long he will need moved. They tend to get a bit aggressive, although they are wonderful fish and I wouldn't trade mine for anything:)
