I turn here for help after looking at soooo many google images. I find ones that look similar, get convinced "this is it", google that species, and find out that pic is a 1 off.

He's approx 5 inches from tip to tip. When he's dominant, he has blue "tint" in his sides, but for the most part is just a shale-ish color.

There is actually a large male convict in same tank and the two get along really well. Recently, this one has begun chasing a species of females around the tank (which I also don't know what species THEY are). This guy or those females are species 44, and I'm ASSUMING it's them for sure with their stripes.

Sorry the pics are terrible. Wife says 4th pic is the female to him.

Anyways. Any ideas?

There is absolutely no chance that you have a blue rock krib (those are pictures of my fish). The head shape is wrong and the blue rock krib is so rare as to almost not exist at all in the hobby. The red on the fins does make me think Victorian and the rounded head resembles the Neochromis species (or Tropheops if it was Malawi). But I've never seen a Neochromis with that coloration. My Neochromis rufocauldalis is bright blue and they are in the hobby at the moment. The "suspected female" is obviously a totally different species.
