brought some fish labelled as these and they are all blue but no colour in the fins yet

Re: greshakei(ice blue zebra)
looks like i have some mislabeled fish then
i thought they looked more like Pseudotropheus socolofi Powder blue
one of them has a slight bit of back on the dorsal fin

Re: greshakei(ice blue zebra)
I don't think black on the dorsal should be there at any age.
From your description (all blue juveniles) I was wondering about hormones.

Re: greshakei(ice blue zebra)
Still should not be any black on the dorsal of a cobalt blue (which is really Metriaclima callainos).
