I think I would ID them as "too big for that tank!" 
J/K (well, maybe as adults)
How about small male kenyi for the blue one? The black blaze is alittle weird for that fish. Maybe female kenyi for the orange.

Too odd to tell sorry. I know you posted this in other places, but I suggest you look here:

So see if any match.

Pseudotropheus saulosi

or
Metriaclima lombardoi (kenyi)

I think I am 1/2 wrong...kinda
You are correct the females are yellow/orange. I mis-spoken. however, males morph from blue to yellow/orange. either way, I think I am off anyway. It does seem to have the black blaze of the Pseudotropheus.

That's what I was thinking too (colors), when mine started changing colors it freaked me out a little..and found out the males do change to yellow. I ended up having 3 males and 1 female, the biggest male is starting to get more aggressive now, since they prefer a 1/3 m/fm ratio. I HAVE to get my 75 set up soon so I can get some more females to add w/ them.fish head )'>;1174943; said:I think I am 1/2 wrong...kinda
Anyway, I don't know for sure what it is, but I don't think the orange is a kenyi either. I think it's body is to slender.
This is one before color morph, I don't have his picture since he changed to add with though. I will add a pic of my biggest male though.
I went to Malawi Maham and I think you are right about the Pseudotropheus
