New fish meed id, and tank mates please.

[Aquaman1978]

I have 6 labs, 6 demasoni, 6 of these guys. Just unsure the name. Wanting to add some more fish. They are in an 86 gallon tank I built with a 29 gallon sump filter. I do weekly 50% pwc. How many fish can I put in my tank safely. Will probably double my demasoni to curb aggression.

I don't know the fish but its really cool! As far as stocking with that water change and filtration I would say 25-30 maybe more

Metriaclima estherae Hybrid of some kind I'd say. I would only add 6-10 more fish and call it a day.

So is this

So is this

Correct and the fish the OP posted isn't even close to that. Look at the body shape, mouth, fin shape, eye color/shape, kind of a swing and a miss man.

Could it be some type of zebra??

That's my guess some sort of Metriaclima estherae "zebra" Hybrid.

Yeah......I'm not an African guy but that is not a ram for sure.

Will get better pics of some of the others.

Those last photos really cleared it up. I wouldn't have said that if these were the first pictures

They look like red zebras (Maylandia estherae) to me, but it could be wrong.

That's kind of what I was thinking. But my lfs is not to good with scientific names.

Base on those new pictures I would say that's a correct ID, Red Zebras.

It's hard to get a picture because they all want to get in the picture. Loving my new buddies.

The first one you posted with the black on it is probably an orange blotch OB zebra. The ones with no blotches are red zebras.
