Help identifying my mbuna please.

I think it’s some kind of afra but I’m probably wrong. Anyone an expert fish identifier?

Maybe metriaclima red top

How big is he? Afra stays smaller, I agree with the Metriaclima red top gallireya guess

It did breed with my red zebras I have got some cool looking fish from that lol

It reminds me of a metriaclima elongatus 'mpanga'

Yours has yellow across the dorsal though, perhaps 'gold bar chizumulu' or 'linganjala'

Body shape is different. I used to have a tank full of red tops, thus my avatar

They all look so similar. Out does look very close to a Metriaclima red top gallireya

I think the classification "Blue striped cichlid" works 😃

He’s purple though🤷🏽‍♂️ He’s purple black and yellow .
