The only way to 100% ID malawi cichlids is to post some pics. More so with the last one you want an ID on. :ssmile:

Any chance of getting some pics ?

The yellow one in that link is an electric yellow lab (labidochromis caeruleus).

here is the blue one i know the pic isnt the greatest but you can kinda see him its the blue one.

the orange one looks almost identical to the yellow one.

The blue one is most probably a maingano (melanochromis cyaneorhabdos), aka 'electric blue johanni'.
