These two were sold to me as a male and female red top zebra. But I have yet to see any pictures that look like the male I have.

He's about 3" long and she is over 4" The first two pictures are of him and the last is of the female. He colors up quite a bit when she's around and shows very dark barring.

nice fish ive always wanted one. The vertical bars might go away with time. :) Did u get him from a mixed african tank? he migh be just that a mixed african ;)
 
Ok ok he's a Metriaclima Greshakei. I just hadn't seen any with such dark barring. he displays it all the time now that I have a female in there. I want to get him more females and I just wanted to be sure what species I need to get.


He was labeled as a red top zebra but was with some other fish though all of them looked drastically different. The LFS I go to keeps most of their cichlids in a few tanks with many species contained. They don't have any of the "mixed cichlid" tanks
