Maybe this one or a different color of these type fish.

Note the description in "OVERVIEW" from live Aquaria / the pic is different but other pics online look with the bars and 4 dots. Colors can be blue, red or yellow.
"The coloration of the Cobalt Blue is a pale blue background with seven to eight blue-black bars with four orange egg-shaped spots on the anal fin"
https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/842/?pcatid=842

Also called Zebra Mbunda.
Maybe the fish will color up better or could be a female.
You may already at least know that general stuff, I do not know these guys specifically, maybe someone will know exactly. Though it could be a hybrid.
