I would not say a Cherry Red Zebra has a slopped forehead very blatenly rounded.
When you say slopped I think of Compressiceps. like Eyebitter.

Orange like a gold fish @4" slopped forehead on the floor in a pet store -I'd be more inclinded to say juvi Amphilophus either Red Devil or Midas

A 4" Cherry Red would be 1-3 years old and all but full grown

wasnt a red devil/midas
it was an african rift lake

As always just a guess

 

[srikamaraja]

one could always just say "pseudotropheus" and that covers ~50% of the lake...
