Not a demasoni or cobalt blue zebra, I have both of those species (and actually cobalts look nothing like the foster & smith illustration of the species, they're solid blue).
Your fish is a african cichlid originating from Lake Malawi. It seems to greatly resemble Pseudotropheus sp. "Elongatus Chailosi" (compare the stripe pattern and yellowish coloration on the dorsal fin tip and tail of your fish with the elongatus chailosi in this link: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=860

I think you have a Cobalt Blue Zebra Cichlid. The orange on the tail is the defining difference between this and the Demasoni.

it is 100% african, try looking up species like pseudotropheus demasoni
it looks very similar to that fish.
