For some reason I am having some trouble getting blues to come out with the camera again.

The pelvic fins look about the same on all of them to me. Which one do you mean?The eastern is the one with the very light pelvic fins.

The western dollars blue should look a bit darker than that, on that fish a medium turquoise, similar to the body spots and wavy lines on the cheeks. The blue on male westerns fins can get navy blue on the bottom, but the unpaireds stays a medium electric blue.
That FL is young, but thier blue on the fins is a darker green blue, and can turn nearly black.
Not showing well in the pictures, especially the FL is how intense the blue wavy lines on the phase are.
I have had western with some fin extension, but not quite as long as the eastern in these pictures. I have had both easterns and FL. get much longer extensions. The Fl. was the clear winner, with one male I had had extensions a bit longer the main fin itself.

Those extensions on the fins were something I noticed on my adult male eastern dollars and it's interesting to hear I'm not the only one that has noticed those.
I've also noticed them, and I personally think they add some beauty to the fish.
