Cichlid I.d.

[J@son]

I know its not much to go on and I haven't got any pics
But I would like to know what kind Cichlid this is.
It is a whitish silverish cichlid with a black stripe going down the middle?
thx

That covers just about half the cichlid family then... try googling that and see what results you get because no one could ID a cichlid from that description

If you can take a photo of one from a LFS that would help.

Festivum maybe

If by a black stripe down the middle you mean across it's dorsal fin then it could be an Nkhata Bay Lab.

Is this it?

 

[J@son]

sorry no its not, it's a straight line going down the middle

Body shape? Size? You really need to give us something else to go on.

Google image keyhole cichlid, does it look anything like that?

 

[J@son]

Where did you see the fish at? Can you go back and take a picture?

In that case I'd have a look around for fish that you can research. Start by looking into what you already have & what you can find for certain are compatible tankmates. I reckon guessing could lead to injured, stressed & even dead fish.
Good luck.
