ID PLEASE

[Volforlife]

Kenyi, or lab, or hybrid please help I have been told a million things

Sorry for the quality hope you can tell the difference

here(above) the blue is actually a light blue. When I got it is was a dark purple like below and barley could see bars. It changes color all the time and even its bar patterns change. Did I get lucky and get a pair of kenyi? Or still too early to tell, or neither lol



This is not my fish( the purple/dark one below), but the color when I got her/him. This is supposed to be a Kenyi but more of what MINE looked liked when I got it

RIGHT NOW my blue below is almost white/pink/Silver. her fins are still electric blue like. The body changes color all day and so does its bar pattern. Is normal for bar pattern to change? Usually has bars, but when its this light it don't. Sometimes they aint even straight bars if that makes sense

And here is my yellow today (below)

Yesterday with bars(below)

How Can you tell a lab from a kenyi? And I have been told the yellow one is a lab and a kenyi and been told the blue is a kenyi and a powder blue scolofi and a hybrid and a few other things.. Thanks in advance

Yellow is a lab. They can have bars from time to time. Kenyi turn yellow once sexually mature if it a male. Females stay blue. Hard to tell for sure with your blue one. A better pic? The white looks like an albino of some sort, but can not tell if the eye is red of black.

Thats the thing the pink one is the blue one. It changes color often

I have came to a conclusion I just went and got 3 more labs and 4 Acei Cichlids. Like the blue one that no1 can ID for me they Aceis turn from dark to light also, but only in certain parts of the aquarium. I have a gravel pattern in my tank where it goes blue white blue white. 5lbs of white, 5lbs of blue repeat across the tank. Im thinking they are tryin to blend in with the rocks? You can watch them change from light to dark in a matter of seconds, or its around certain fish, or just perhaps they are still young and or in a new tank, but the blue one Im tryin to ID went frm a Dark purple and now stays light, but when I FIRST added the Acei Cichlids it turned dark.. Pretty interesting
