Mistaken Id Now Unknown Help!

[Gandelf]

When I stocked my tank I purchased what I thought was 2 x blue Zebra's now that they have grown I am not sure I got what I thought, the both fish were around 2" when bought, now 1 is around 3.5 and the other has stayed the same but developed a yellow anal fin, have been searching for days now and cant find a name for them.

The large one

The one that is totally baffling me the smaller of the 2

This one I thought might be in the elongatus catagory due to his shape but no luk, can anyone help with this?

Can't tell you much about the 2nd one, but the first looks like some kind of Afra cobue. Not certain what region it would be from, though.

 

[dave_oddballs]

they are both definitely cynotilapia afra species, as mentioned i am also unable to determine which region variant they are.

 

[JMatthew]

btw - good deal if you paid blue zeb price for them

 

[Gandelf]

they are both definitely cynotilapia afra species,

I hate to say this guys but they are not cynotilapia afra for the reason of the stipes on the body continue on the dorsel, where as mine dont the dorsel has 1 long stripe.

So still looking but thank you guys anyway.

 

[dave_oddballs]

there is variations of afra where the stripes are barely visible at all, some that have stripes that go half way up, half way down and all the way up.
