The Real World - Austin

[Full3R]

On mtv's hit show the real world during the Austin season they had a fish tank built into the wall that you could see into the loungeroom from the phone room and visa versa they had some tropical fish in there which looked like some sort of cichlid if anyone had watched it could u please tell me what those fish were?

I didn't watch the show but was able to dig up this pic which makes me think that they kept Malawi cichlids (perhaps red zebras) but I would need a better picture to confirm that and to tell you which species. If anyone have a better pictures please post it and I'm sure we can identify the fish.
