I'm somewhat new to cichlids and bought these three from petsmart because I didn't want to pay for shipping.

These are the three

 

[kay-bee19]

1. Male kenyi (Metriaclima lombardoi)

2. Demasoni/(Pseudotropheus demasoni)

3. OB (Orange-blotch) Zebra/Metriaclima estherae (OB)

1st one is a kenai

2nd one Demasoni

3rd looks like an OB

Spelling might be off.

Thanks guys means a lot. Do you have an idea what might happen with their colors? They are all still young.

The kenyi has already undergone a color transition as both genders start off as light blue fish with black stripes.

The demasoni and OB zebra colors are as they should be, as the demasoni matures it may become more vibrant. The colors of the demasoni will go from dull black with light blue stripes to jet black with vibrant blue stripes:

One of my demasoni's from years back:
