Another pic of the blue one, it's so hard to get good pics of them on my phone! They are so fast and they are begging for food lol
 
The second one is a male kenyi, not sure on the other guy.
 
The first could possibly be a Labidochromis species, just can't make out enough detail for a good ID.

The second fish is an OB red zebra, Maylandia estherae, not a kenyi. Male kenyi are more yellow and the striping is perfect. The striping usually extends into the dorsal fin, as well. The fish in the pic is too orange, the dark markings are blotched and irregular, and there are few markings in the dorsal, and what is there is irregular.
