I have tried the Tetenal blue toner for rc paper, but want to get the same blue tone on fibre paper. Are there any blue toners for fibre paper out there?

The same toner should work for FB papers. Or try Berg Blue Toner, an iron toner. Very tricky to use, acid-fast, not permanent, but very, very blue. You can also try the Fassbender Gold formula, which gives a soft blue tone on cold-tone paper. Expensive but beautiful and extremely permanent. Sold by Photographer's Formulary: http://www.photoformulary.com/toc.htm See: FORMULARY GOLD 231 TONER Or you can go to your library and find an OLD book on photographic formulas. There is a variation to the formula that will produce deeper blues, but I forget what it is.
