You could try taking some more photos once the males have started to colour up, females look almost all identical across peacock species which makes it difficult to tell them apart e.g. which results in easy cross breeding, the white tipped dorsal fish looks to be a male.

Sorry couldn't be more help :-?

Fish in last photo with dark blotches are Otopharynx lithobates.

On e of the mbuna crew will know exactly what blue you have. cobalt, zebra etc.

Not sure about the peacocks in top photos- body shape isn't quite right so may be a hybrid of some sort. Were they labelled as anything?

Just be aware, if you are wanting to breed later on down the track, Lithobates will cross quite readily with Peacock species, so you may want to seperate them if you are wanting to breed 8) The peacock bodies tho do look a tad odd... maybe it is angle of pic???
