Its a green. ime the get lighter and lighter at that age when they get comfortable with the tank. Sexing can be hard especially with greens i think.

female

 

[sbuse]

thats what i was thinking but i have this book that has them listed as bannded cichlids and they show one colored like mine as a male thus my confustion...

It looks like a male because of the worming around its face. I know that female Rotkeils do not have the worming - I don't know if its the same for other variants.

is worming the lines below the eye?

I think it has more to do with the worming in between their eyes, even that can sometimes be hard though. The worming are those small little lines around the face that shimmer a little. Im almost positive its a green though. had some that looked that same way, and my rotties look way different, but who knows
