I posted some pics of the fish I purchased in the following thread, but thought I should start my own.

I'll try to get better pictures, but from what I've seen on the web, it definitely looks like sp. bluesteel. I think that my fish is a male because its fins have a flare at the ends and it has lots of bright blue coloring on its face and blue speckles throught his tail and fins.
I went back to the store to look at the others again and found one that might be female. It's got very little blue on its face and has a grey body with black striping- definitely less color than my other one. It seemed to turn a yellowish hue in the bag and may have displayed at the other fish when I released it into the tank. I need to go back and look at the video clips again to see if what I saw was displaying behavior. The fish sort of popped forward and then drifted back several times in a row.
I'm hoping that I am right and that I have a pair. If so, I hope I can find one more female.
