The fish are Malawi Cichlids. The two grey/dark ones look like either female Aulonocara or female Sciaenochromis fryeri (Electric Blue).
I am leaning towards the latter as the bodies are so elongated, where as the Aulonocara bodies are more compressed. The orange fish is a Maylandia estherae (Orange Zebra).
Here are some pics:

As for Aulonocara, the females look pretty much the same, only the males have diff coloration as they mature.
Here is one species of Aulonocara, have a look at the female:
