Cuban cichlid?

[New-World-cichlids]

I bought this little guy and think it is a cuban cichlid. What do you guys think.

Yeah, I believe it is, but it’s bands are thick, most Cubans I’ve seen the bands are more broken up and not has thick.

Ok thanks. Mine looks like the female one i think

What do female Cubans usually max at compared to males?

 

[Gourami Swami]

It is a cuban, females stay smaller, more like 6"ish max. Yours does look female but a little early to be positive imo.
