Does anyone know what fish this is?

Kribensis looks like a male and female. They are african river cichlids. Kribensis are prolific breeders and very beautiful fish IMO. They are highly aggressive when breeding otherwise they temperament is pretty even.

What is your tank size and what are you stocking them with?

Ah cool cheers, ones allways had a red belly is that the difference between male and female?

The male will also eventually develop some pink in the belly too, but size and finnage will tell the difference when that happens.

Here's a pic of a mature male, as you can see it has a touch of pink in the belly, but the finnage is elaborate
