I am not too sure now on what I purchased as m. johanni. I purchased them when they were dot-sized.

4 of them are dark blue most of the time, 2 are yellowish with a blue stripe, and 2 are completely yellow with a faint stripe.

Can you take closer pictures of each of them ...I don't want to say hybrids from the very beginning.

As requested

Melanochromis Auratus x Melanochromis Johannii hybrids. It's late, and I cannot get you some references at this hour, but at a first glimpse that's what they look to me.

Definetly not johanni's. Not sure what it is though...

The ones that are yellow with the stripe might just be less dominant males trying to keep female colors to keep from being noti9ced. I know salousi do this when there are a lot of males in the tank.

Marius, I think you nailed it.

Yup, had a second look this morning, it's final: Auratus x Johannii hybrids.
