Identify: Cobalt Zebras?

Could these possibly be cobalt blue zebras? They came with my new tank, and the seller said they were cobalt blue zebras. They're 2-2.5" long. About a week after I got them, the stripes appeared and two started turning yellowish while three remained blue. I assumed it was stress, but the color changes have stuck. Now a little over a month in, the blue ones are getting yellow on the tips of their fins. Did I get ice zebras instead? That would be an upgrade to me, but I am still stumped by the yellow ones then.

 

Looks like a hybrid to me, maybe electric yellow x blue zebra.

 

Those aren't even in the right Genus to be called Zebras. Both have mouths characteristic of Labidochromis, and the stripe in the dorsal also suggests the same.

I don't know Lab species well enough to put a guess on ID. They could even be hybrids, as mentioned.

 

Is there any chance they're kenyi? To my untrained eye, they look a lot like kenyi, and from reading about kenyi, there's no way I could keep them in my current tank. I'd rather know now that they're kenyi and will likely need to be rehomed, so I can stop getting attached.

If they're more likely hybrids, I do like them enough to keep them and just try to avoid saving fry from them.

 

Definitely not Kenyi. That would be the same genus as Zebras.

 

Thank you! That's very reassuring.
