How To Tell?

hi, just wondering, i know it will be hard without a picture, but my camera has been misplaced....

we have an electric yellow, a zebra, an electric blue, which is a baby and a elongatus mbenji blue..... the baby electric looks a bit like the elongatus mbenji blue but has no yellow on its tail and is quite grey at the monent coz its young, does this seem right??

Not really sure, however, there are a few species that are often labeled as electric blue, so it could be any of them.

For your information if you didn't already know:
electric yellow - labidochromis caeruleus
zebra - most likely either metricalima estherae (orange/red) or metriaclima callainos (blue)

the electric blue looks like it has a yellow tinge on its fins....

I'm sorry, without a pic, there's no way to positively id your fish.
