Hello again,

I bought him/her today at the petstore. They sold it to me as a red zebra, I know this cichlid is not a red zebra. I got this cichlid for $6.99, it is approx 3.5"-4" long. It is like a orange/yellow color, with light, light brown/orange vertical bars. First off, can you please ID this cichlid. Also,is it a male or female.Thanks once again!

Metriaclima lombardoi and Pseudotropheus lombardoi are the same fish (kenyi). Pseudotropheus lombardoiis a old name for it and Metriaclima lombardoiis a newer more accepted name for it.
