Hi, I need help. I just purchased this absolutely lovely cichlid and was told it is a "Bifa" . "She" has proceeded to move EVERYTHING around the tank, stack rocks on top of the ornamental sunken ship and dig a deep nest clear to the bottom of rocks by piling them along the front of the tank .... I have "her" in a 75E tank with only the pleco that had been in the tank with "her". I would love to get a mate, but first need to know what sex and then WHERE??? I will post a picture. Any and all help is greatly appreciated

I'd say black belt to but not entirely sure. Gorgeous fish though.

How you guys tell is not Bifa but Blackbelt?
Cause i have two that i bought as Bifa...


Post a pic if your in doubt.
 
From the photo given I'd say female since most males have more of a hump by that size - 8 inches? I'd also go with her being a Blackbelt.
