Bought 3 of these guys yesterday. Lfs said they were red zebras.
But the red zebras I saw on the internet were yellow. There were yellow ones in the same tank as these. Mine also have 1 or 2 small irredescent dots on anul fins. Thanks!

M.estherae "red zebra",most common colors are Male:blue
Female:orange/yellow or orange blotch(ob) in the lake,in tanks it is a little moore coulormorphs,males:blue,ob,pinkish,orange,yellow and females also can have moore color,probebly because of selected breeds.
the photo you shows look not "red zebra" to me ihave never seen a brownish,i think the yellow ones in the lfs was female "red zebras".
