[attachment=773:Picture_020.jpg]Can someone give me some sort of idea what this fish may be? The
female looks different and is smaller with silver/white belly. She is currently holding. This guy
earlier was a peachy pink color, but sometimes takes on a gold color as pictured.

I'd say your lighter
coloured fish is a badly coloured Labidochromis caeruleus (electric yellow). The fish in the front
reminds me of Pseudotropheus estherae, but the red x red variety. However, there are many Pseudos
that can look similar.

So is there a more regular name
like red Zebra. Thanks these fish where the ones a friend gave me 6 fry of. And I kept 2 one female
and one male.
He is very agressive and became the dominate fish in my 120 tank. So I
seperated him from my main tank and placed him in a 40 with the female. She has the peach coloring
with a white faint stripes , she is one of my favorite fish.
