I have looked through the photos that I can find and I can't seem to be able to identify one of my fish. I can't upload photos at the moment so I will try my best to describe it.
He's got almost a gunmetal or grey/blue body with bright red or orange colour overlaying that, as well as bright orange/red fins.
Thanks ahead of time.

Does it have a flat, laterally compressed body? or is it streamlined? you've got quite a few options. have you tried: http://www.jjphoto.dk/fish_archive/ab_index_cichlider.htm

hmmm...colouration is very hard to make out.
It's an aulonocara species anyway.

if he's the same as in pic one and pic three of your current thread he has the silhouette of aulonocara jacobfreibergi which come in a couple of colour schemes...does he have white edging around his ventral and dorsal fins (or he may develop these as he matures) ? that would be another indicator of jacobfreibergi
