First time having a female hold, first 2 pictures are of her and the third is the male. I'm not even 100% sure what these are. Any ideas?

The make looks like a washed out ice blue and the female not sure almost looks like a male kenyi but that can't be shes holding.
 
Yeah he really varies on color, sometimes he's dark blue with light stripes and sometimes lightens up. I guess he's lighter bc of the breeding? I thought they were hybrids but the female has the exact same shape/features of the male and I also have a smaller male that looks identical to the bigger one pictured. I figured it would be unlikely to have 3 hybrids looking so much alike. Maybe I'm wrong
 
Do the male have a redish orange dorsal if so I think it's a Metriaclima greshakei
 
Yea the male is deff a ice blue red top bit thats odd the female dose look like a male kenyi lol got me scratching my head lol
 
Haha yeah I know what you mean, but the body shape of the female is the exact same. Weird
