Sorry, I know I should know but I just want to confirm is this definitely a Metriaclima Estherea? I just haven't seen any that look like him exactly and his mouth shape is different from the red one I have...
Blue one



Red one

I thought that too!! He's very handsome though so I'm not complaining! :D
 
I've got to concur with the other posts that your blue one has Labeotroph look, and would have called that out had I not been beaten to it LOL.

I'll say right now, that group, Labeotrophs, I am by far any level of expert in those, but if I had to make a guess, my guess is that looks like a hybrid, only because I can't seem to find any specific features that hold true of the hole body, from the head, the dorsal, bars on the body, all seem to be features of different species. That would be my guess, and hopefully, someone more experienced in Labeotrophs can narrow that down.
