Pls help id color in cichlid fry if possible

[Hemi44]

I have had cichlid fry and although I know that the mother was an electric yellow She was in a community tank with only one other male elec yellow. I have no idea which fish spawned with her and I was wondering when you can see true colours as these fish are approx 3weeks free swimming and I can see some blue on a lot if not all throughout fins. Will this remain the same? I also have two older ones about an inch or so which are still the same almost year old. I also have a ob peacock, electric blue and a jewel all male that was in with her any clues on which one did the deed? Any insight would be great thanks the last pic is of the older 1-1 1/4 inch fish

The jewel can be ruled out, these substrate spawners can't hybridize with mouth brooding rift lake cichlids.

It's been awhile since I've intentionally reared yellow lab fry; I can't recall exactly when their yellow lab characteristics, particularly their yellow color clearly manifests, but if memory serves correct it is fairly early.

I have a 'survivor' yellow fry hiding in the rock crevices (a couple of months old at most and the likely the last of its brood) in my display tank that is nearly the length of the diameter of my thumbnail (less than an inch) and it is distinctly yellow and already has a black dorsal fin marking.

I can see some blue on a lot if not all throughout fins.

That may be a metriaclima estherae trait if the dorsal is one of the fins with blue pigmentation. Can you post pics of the mother and male yellow lab?

Is the "electric blue" that you have a maingano or a s. fryeri?

Thanks for response inc are pics of both fish really not sure on any scientific names though

Looks to be a blue zebra, that'd be my guess at the father. I was originally gonna say zebra hybrid until you didn't list one
