Proper ID on this cichlid

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looks like a synspilium to me. What makes people say it's a cross? Bifa have the dark line the entire length of the body, while syns only have it on the back half to varying degrees.
 
I agree with MM, Synspilum. And I would also lean towards a female.
The black stripe on syns usually only travels laterally about a third or so and slants downwards.
