Thanks guys, went to the LFS yesterday (first time to this one) he doesnt usually keep cichlids and told me it was a female zebra. He wanted to get rid of it and said if someone didnet take it he had to throw as he had new stock coming in. So I went back before the store closed, he still had it and I did not want to see the poor thing die.

I am 4 days into cycling my tank with white clouds. They seem to be getting on very well, no agressive reactions from this female at all. She sticks to herself. I will check again today if they continue on well I will keep it in for the balance of my cycle. If not I will need to find another LFS willing to take her.

Thanks for you help again. When I start stocking my tank with the balance of my cichlids I will post her hopefully with full colour.
