When we got this guy and two other similar ones, they were in the "assorted" African tank, so we never exactly knew what species they are. I figured they were just zebras of some sort, but would now like to find out for sure. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance! :D

Thanks! That's what I originally thought, but the cobalt pics I saw always looked like a lighter blue, so I wasn't sure. Here's a shot of one of the other two, who has faint black stripes. That's another thing that threw me off.

i sec that!!!!!! very nice looking cichlid.
 
If it has stripes and is a dark purple it is most likely a hybird. (which often comes from the mixed tanks). I was supecting hybrid, but when you added the stripes I would have to say that confirmed it.
