Hello all........can anyone identify this cichlid? Ive had it for about 5 years and this is about as big as it has got (5 or 6 inches). Its very peaceful...lives w/ a severum, blood parrots and geophagus. Thanks........

Looks like a Convict to me...

Definitely a male Convict... pretend the faded bars are full black and it's the classic Convict "Ear-V". Nice fish!

not a convict, the head shape is way off, ive seen these bafore but their name escapes me at the moment, a nice fish none the less
