Is this a Red Top Cobalt?

[JoeBel]

I found this youtube vid & I love the look of this fish, is it a Red Top Cobalt? It's the light blue with yellow fins swimming around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqLxik1V_eU&feature=related#

I couldn't read the comments or title so just wanted to see & also wondered if it was a hard to find fish?

Thanks,
Joe

Looks like a Metriaclima greshakei. Shouldn't be too hard to find. PetSmart has them as do most other chain and local shops. They're an "assorted African cichlid" tank staple.

Thanks so much for the ID Strait. I've never seen any around here, but we have no good LFS in terms of AC's around here. Does it have a common name?

I may try to order a few online, my favorite online vendors don't seem to carry them though, just checked.

This Red Top Zebra looks very similar, could they be the same: http://www.livefishdirect.com/store.php?fid=23

That link is confused. The picture is of M. greshakei but they've labelled it M. callainos - the cobalt zebra.

Ah that make sense, I knew that was the same fish. I'll have to order some. Hopefully my alpha Cobalt won't kick the poo out of them.
