not sure if this will help but I have included a picture of a female kenyi (deeper blue when younger) and a cobalt blue, see if yours resemble these at all.

in a tank of mixed africans they're probably mutts, but one of the parents is probably a kenyi. a female's eggs can be fertilized by more than one male in the tank. the stripes are markedly kenyi, but they are not as sharply defined and colored as a full blooded kenyi.
