Could be afra, the pic is too blurry though, try taking another one.

My guess is " Assorted African ".

I agree, probably a mutt.

Ice Blue zebra too big for an afra or possible a red top blue zebra..

Looks a bit like my M. Callainos without the eggspot.

I'm going to disagree based on the history of this tank. We have a Tinfoil Barb, a Parrot Cichlid, and 2 African Mbuna. This sounds like box store stocking and that usually doesn't include these species. I'm guessing Zebra mutt. Probably a fine community Mbuna, but not a purebred.

Blue Zebra.. Top fin turns black or white. Yours is white from what I can see right? I have one right now with a black fin... I've also seen them called Johanni cichlids. Most likely out of a mixed tank...

But Johanni isn't an appropriate name for zebras of the Metriaclima group. It is a name for cichlids of the Melanochromis group.

Makes sense afro
