Hi guys, my friend's fish just had a spawning and he has dozens of fries to give away... problem is, he does not know what kind of fish he has.

I have only seen the fish once, its some kind of cichlid, but I don't have enough experience with cichlids to identify it.

The fish is dark silver gray, with stripes along its body. The edge of its dorsal fin is lined with red. Its body is slightly elongated and it has rather large eye in proportion to its body. Sorry this is all i have...

Cichlid gurus please give me a hint of what this fish may be. Many thanks!
 
Well the only cichlids i am familiar with are Convicts. And the fish he has is not a convict. It is much more elongated, is silver gray in color and has regular stripes.
 
is it a south american cichild or central american cichlid? or a african cichlid?
 
ok u don't have a cell phoine that take pics?
 
Sorry no picts at the moment.

It would probably be a more common cichlid, as the LFS gave it to him for free.
 
some kind of tilapia??
