Orange Cichlid?

[Hero]

Are the orange cichlids with a couple dots on the bottom fin (anal fin?) also known as "red zebras?"

If so, what is the scientific name of this fish?

What you are talking about is most likely metriaclima estherae (red), you might check out the information I added to your other post on mbuna.

Yup that's it, thanks a ton. What is the common name of these fish? Red?

Usually they are labeled as red zebras, however, it really just depends on the LFS, that's why scientific names are so important.
