Help!!!
I need an ID please. I've spent a few monts now trying to find another one online that looks like her but no luck. These aren't great pictures but she rarely holds still long enough to get a good shot. Anyway she's mud brown with slightly darker stripes. No other markings or even color.
 
It almost looks like a juvi kenyi male, but the body shape just doesn't look quite like mine... They start blue, but turn a goldish brown color, and eventually the dominant male will turn almost yellow.

I know she's not a Kenyi male. I had one of those, it was unfortunately killed by my Red Zebra Male, Sonny. I had to take him back to the LFS. He was decimating my female stock and everyone else in the tank was terrified of him. They were all in hiding until I took him out today.
Here is a Pic. of My late male Kenyi, He will be missed.
 
I guess it's that top right picture that makes me think that. PM mattrox and see if he can help. He's quite the expert on ID'ing africans.

Where might I find PM mattrox?
It's not that I will like her less if I never know what kind of Cichlid she is. I like to research all my fish. Learn their history, behaviors, temperment and so on. I can't do that with her. She may be a hybrid, which is fine, but a hybrid of what?
