Unless Uro's Have the same IDENTICAL markings,like the Fish in the first pic and the second.The second pic fish is just a little washed out.I think this guy either has a hybrid or a wahed out RT.Those markings are identical on both fish,look painfully close.........

It is NOT a amphilophus Festae. It is possibly a VERY slight chance of being a hybrid between the two but I highly doubt it. I have seen uro's with almost connecting bars but the bars are so washed out right you cannot see distinctly where they go. If it has 8 bars on the body then it's a Uro (also known as the "8 banded cichlid"). The caudul spot is once again way to large on a festae the spot should only be on the upper half and on a uro it takes up almost the whole tail. It is too small sex no matter which one it is. Both sexes have pearling when juvinile. Just the females go away when reaching maturity and the males keep theirs. These fish can not be sexed unilt they are at the minimum 3 inches but more likely around 3.5"-4" they will start to color up.
