The fry are doing great. Putting on a little bit of size now. Still hard to distinguish anything, although you can see black patterns forming on their sides. So who knows, it may turn out to be some sort of low-grade FH. Fingers crossed. 
The majority of fry seem to be regular-body fish, although I think there are some SBs. Here's a picture just to show how much they're growing. You can't really make anything out as my camera on my Blackberry sucks, but it's just to show growth. I'll have to get my good camera over to the house to take some good pictures.

UPDATE:
Well I am now at 23 juvies that range from about .5" to 1.5", AND I HAVE SOME PEELERS! One of them is already fully peeled and is totally orange, and another is about 3/4 of the way through peeling. I haven't really noticed any short bodies, so I believe they'll all be taking after their father. The father and mother had a bit of a scuffle, leaving the mother badly wounded, so I took the father out and put him in with my Jack Dempsey for now. She is back to normal and still living with the babies. They're being fed on Hikari Cichlid Gold Mini pellets and seem to be growing very fast. They are for sale, if anyone wants to PM me. I'll have photos in the next couple of days.

Here's a crappy cell phone picture of the fully peeled one:
