The only twoo species you've got that might cross with your blues are the O.b and the gresheki(if male)

O.B's are a hybrid fish (Peacock and O.B Mbuna) and will cross with almost anything.
Blues are blue right off the bat and you should be able to tell. If you can post a pic when they hit 2-3 weeks after release I'm sure we can all figure it out
