Identification Help

[Craig Brye]

I have a couple of Cichlids I haven't been able to identify. I would like
to ask for possible identifications because I've been looking at a lot of
pictures and I would like to narrow down the possibilities (means looking at
several photos instead of possibly thousands). If anyone could provide
possible ID's based on the following descriptions I provide, I would be very
thankful as this is proving to be a challenge.

1) The first fish is around 2" long and light yellow with light brown
(possibly black) horizontal strips starting at the top of the body and going
down most of the side. This fish also has one egg spot on the bottom back
fin and a dark spot by the gill on each side of the fish (behind and below
the eyes).

2) The second fish is about 1 1/2" long and completely orange (beautiful
dark orange) with 3-4 egg spots on the back bottom fin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I don't think so, but it's hard to tell. I ordered the Koning's CD, and
this should help tremendously. I think the one is Mylandia lombardoi and
the other is P. zebra
