Blue Mbuna, or Blue Zebra?

[Toam]

The only problem I'm having understanding, is this blue fish a blue mbuna? or a blue zebra?

The guy in the lower left is a Red Zebra I think?

Now this guy here, the blue one, is he a Blue Mbuna? or a Blue Zebra?

i think you said you found it in your other post but i just looked and i think its a blue Mbuna

It is just they both look very similar, and I'm not sure the exact difference. That and the fact that there is already a red zebra, so It got me to thinking that it could be a blue zebra if they came from the same breeder?

It looks like the striped fish are Kenya. You are correct on the Orange fish's ID. The solid blue fish looks like a "Cobalt Zebra" to me. Zebra are like a type of Mbuna.

They are all Mbuna though.

Mbuna is the malawian word to describe a small rock dwelling fish. There are a few hundred different species of them, and I suppose 100 or so of them are blue. So blue mbuna isn't much help.

Mind you , of that lot about 80% of them are stripy and called blue zebra, so that's a pretty hopeless name as well to identify a particular fish
