Joe should know. but, i would say the 2 incher would be a brown discus the other maybe a brilliant or a pigeon blood If you would like you could bring the fish to your LFS or discus breeder and ask what kind it is but, that would be risky considering how delicate the fish are 8)

Sorry i couldn't be much help

discus really aren't that delicate. Any fish is at risk from stress related diseases,  moving them around shouldn't be to much of a problem if you're careful.

what color you have is difficult to say by what you described, there's a lot of color variants that are pretty similar. your best bet would be looking at discus web sites and comparing what you have to the others, that way you'll know exactly what they are
