Fairly happy that the top one is a tangerine zebra but look up metriaclima msobo female.

I have a very similar looking one and indeed it was sold as a red zebra
This is getting expensive! I think I\\\'m gonna need a 2nd job to support my fish habit.

the estherae is a female. u can tell them from the body color. the females and juvies r darker orange and the males turn lighter pale yellow. she too mature to be juvie it is a female. the greshakei i cant tell if he is male or female.
whats up guys i been gone from here for a long time it nice to be back.

The blue cichlid is a "RED TOP ICE BLUE" also known as "Metriaclima greshakei"
