I'm still unsure of what the peach colored one is.

Nice pics!
I am sure what that peach colored one is either.

Thank you! :22:

Can anyone help me out with IDing the orange one? :ssmile:

EDIT: Yeah Northernguy....that fish really has me stumped. I have 2 of them.

Id lean toward male Metriaclima estherae. Some males are a very light peachy color with the blue cast like the one shown. Do you have any more pics of the fish?

looks like some kind of red zebra hybrid... there's so much interbreeding in these africans nowadays. Nice fish though!

It does look a little too slim and bullet-shaped to be pure M.estherae. Could be pure but it does look a little off.

I think the peach one is probably a hybrid. I would either get rid of it or not let it breed (better to be safe or sure than sorry). Good looking fish though.
