Blue x Red zebra identification

[Fish teens]

I got this fish with a tank I just bought. I have done a little research on them but could not find the answer I wondered if maybe you guys can help. It is hard to see in the picture but he starting to get a little orange on his dorsal fin.

Not sure what you're asking... "Red x blue zebra" means it is a red zebra crossed with a blue zebra. Do you mean something else?

Originally from lake Malawi the male red zebra is blue not orange like the female is how ever from lots and lots of breeding most male you come across are orange. So, I was wondering if it is a male red zebra or is it one of the other zebra species?

The yellow one looks like a Yellow Lab (Labid. caeruleus) and the blue one is some kind of Metriaclima (calliniois?).

Two different species.

Their offspring would be hybrids and undesirable to most folks.

There are in fact mbuna with different colored males and females. Just not those two.

They are both males and they are only in a 15 gallon together until I get my 120 set up and if I ever get hybrid fry I feed them to my larger cichlids.

in my oppion The blue one looks more to me like a power blue male Esthera. I could be wrong as photos can not show the true color of a fish
