Hello I got two peacocks from a mixed male tank and I just wanted any hints as to what kind they are specifically if not some hybrid. Thanks. The orange one has really cool spotting along all his fins if you can't see.

Maybe a dragon blood for the orange one and an electric blue is the other would be my guess
 
Thanks guys. So the electric blue is not one of the ahli right? It's an electric blue peacock?
 
The blue one is a Sciaenochromis Fryeri. I just picked one up a few weeks he's awesome lol

You think? He doesn't have that anal fun that's orangeish. He has a white/yellow line along tip of dorsal fin he's a solid royal blue with hints of bars but really only has that " electric" blue sparkle in his face. Thanks for your input for sure! I like the fryeri an would be glad if he is one!
 
The orange ones look like dragons blood peacocks. I had 3 and their fins were marked just like that.
 
For sure and ahli. I have the same electric blue one in my tank. The color will get more intense over time
