Hello everyone, help on identification of two unknown African cichlids would be very much appreciated.
Pic #1
I bought this first one in the "Assorted African Cichlids" tank at Walmart (I know, bad idea, but its actually very healthy) one night because, to me it has a unique look to it. It is between 2.5-3". I think it is a juvenile Ice Blue Zebra cichlid because it has all the markings of one, except it is a brown color. I was told that the Ice Blues are a brown color when young. It is aggressive and chases everyone except my Jewel cichlid, and my new Electric Blue JohannI cichlid.

This second one I bought at my LFS in the "Assorted African Cichlids" tank. At first I thought that it was a Red Zebra cichlid, but it has a different look to it, and, I don't know if you can see this in the picture or not, but it is orange and has vertical yellow stripes running down the body, which, i'm not sure if the red zebras have that or not. What I think now is that it is a hybred African cichlid, but I'm not sure. It's about 1 1/2" and already fighting with similar sized tankmates.
P.S... Both are in my main 55 gallon cichlid community tank.
Thanks in advance!!! x
