Hi everyone,

I got a new fish from the store today. I generally will only buy fish if I know what they are, but this one was so pretty. It was in a general Malawi Cichlid tank and I am sure it is a mbuna of some sort. I suspect it might be a hybrid, but have no idea what. It has a very intense orange belly, strong blue body with orange glow, and yellow dorsal and tail fins. The pictures actually don't do it justice. Can anyone help me identify it?

I have no idea how to upload more than one photo, but here are links to three pictures of it:

Thanks so much,
