Hi everyone. Im curious what kind of cichlid this might be. Its a female, but aparently the males look the same (or so Im told). A Friend of mine has a tank full of them, and doesnt have a clue what they are, aside from the fact that they are African and not American. Any help is appreciated!

it looks like a frontosa
 
I dont think its a frontosa. theres no cranial bump, and they are already a few years old, so they should have had it by now. Theres also really no colour to them either. They are all grey with the darker bands
 
yea theres no bump but i guess i didnt read it was kinda old..otherwise it made sense to me..what about a buttikoferi?

like what?
 
Thats what I had initially thought too, but the males in the tank look the same too, and they just had babies too, so they know there are both males and females in there for sure
