Is this Kenyi, mixed with blue cobalt or blue zebra?

Just to update, the last 2 pics are of my friends tank. The first pic is mine. It's about 125g i think. Mine is a 55g. The tank that showed the female with babies was also my friends small tank he had it in.
As far as the firemouth and the kenyi hybreds go, they seem not to bother each other too much. Heck i even have tiger barbs, paradise gouramies, angelfish, etc. in their. I even have a lamp eye tetra thats bigger than half of my fish and is never bothered. As the cichlids grow though i may have issues. We'll see. I'm slowly taking out certain fish and putting elsewere. It's not exactly a cichlid tank right now. My tank is nothing fancy either.

Now that i have seen many kenyis in various pet stores, i think these little fish have more of blue colbalt or blue zebra than than kenyi. They still may have some Kenyi in them. Also looking at the mother fish it looks just like a pic on a website about blue cobalts. Just check out the link and compare to mother fish on this thread.

The picture of the female with the babies is def. a Kenyi.
 
Maybe so. The babies are probably a hybred of Kenyi and blue zebra or cobalt blue. The babies just look alittle different then kenyi babies i see in stores.
Thanks for everybodys help...
