I rescued him and some others tried some researching and can not find.
The one with the red belly. Is it a form of tilapia?

On LiveAquaria , they have pictures of a Rainbow Cichlid that looks like what you have. You may want to check it out.

I do not know much about cichlids but the red belly kind of reminds me of a Krib but the black stripe is not right. It's a beautiful fish, absolutely beautiful. I will be interested to hear what the experts have to say about it.

probably a hybrid, some sort of flowerhorn. kinda looks like a firemouth dovii mix to me.

WOW Beeker! I think you are right. Look at the pic on the species profile

I like him but he is starting to chase the oscar and chocolates around and doing a number on there fins. YIKES!!! Trying to figure out what to put him with and how big he is going to be?

He allready has nips out of his tail, not pretty on a long-fin.

I'm not at all sure what it is, but there are a few things you can do. A lot of the big cichlid people seem to only go into the "Cichlid Forum" so you may get better responses to your identification question there. The fish looks very familiar and I do believe it is a pure specie. I also do not believe it is a rainbow cichlid... this is a rainbow and they look very different:
