I was hoping somebody could help me out identifing a group of cichilds I
bought from the store. They were sold to me as Pseudotropheus Demsoni but I
know they are not because now that they have grown two of them have changed
have orange bodies with vertical stripes while the two smaller ones have
remained blue.

They are incredibly close to what I have read about Pseudotropeus Saulosi,
but the fact is they were are a brilliant blue when they were babies and as
they grew up (the two largest) have gone orange.

Any suggestions would appreciated! :-)

Sounds like Kenyii (pseudotropheus (?) lombordoi)

they are not saulosi, all young saulosi are yellow then the males go blue.
lombardi males go yellow as they grow but the difference between them great.
