Exclamation What kind of cichlid is this?

In our 80 gallon, we have six cichlids. I have two that I can't find a common name for. They were sold to us as "Assorted African Cichlids"... lol. What are they?


And here's a picture of our beautiful jewel... (I obviously already know what he is...)

The other is the Orange Blotch (OB) color morph of the red zebra (metriaclima estherae), so you've got a Red Zebra (OB) there.
