Assorted Cichlids

I think that a picture might be the most helpful at this point...sorry that I couldn't do any more than that!

Does it have 2 legs and a third eye too? I may know what one you are talking about

It is probably metriaclima estherae. Very common and often in assorted tanks.

It might also be a female pseudotropheus saulosi.

if it is in the assorted african tank it is most likely a red zebra(M.estherae) as this is a pretty common fish. It also has a high possibility of being a hybrid so if you plan to ever breed them i would suggest not buying any fish from teh assorted tanks.

You can find some pix of the "Red Zebra" if you google one of these:

Metriaclima estherae
Maylandia estherae
Pseudotropheus estherae

You should only buy them if they're really deep orange(almost red)
