got this fella yesterday from my lfs and was told its a red top zebra but after some more research I'm not so sure can anyone please shed some light for me?
also I have 4 Lombardi. 2 yellow 1 blue and 1 almost brown they all have verticle bars although some are more predominant than others. I was thinking I had 2 males and 2 females but I'm not 100% they are all about 2inches. any help is appreciated thanks.

Last two pics look like kenyi cichlids. Look those up and see if so... First pic remind me of a socolofia cichlid (spell check). I used to have one. But i don't think it's that. Look up albino red zebra. Might be it.
 
metriaclima lombardoi (kenyi) males x2 (yellow)
1 I think female (blue)
and the other one could possibly be a male juvenile (brown)

good call on the albino red top zebra but I'm still not 100% convinced
thanks for having a go though :)
 
Lol I would like to think I know a lil bit. Have had cichlids for almost a year and slowly catching on to the names.
 
cool. I've had mine for a bit over a year too but unfortunately I had a few deaths early on due to my inexperience with mixing different lakes and having a too smaller tank but I've since upgraded and do more research before I buy and everyone on this site is very helpful.

yea I've had a few to die and was discourage to a point where I got ill at the hobby. But now I believe I got enough knowledge to succeed.
