I've just taken in acichlid which I was told was a male convict. It's definitely not a male convict, or even related. In fact I don't even think it's SA. Definitely a cichlid but
1.Shape is long like a molly not round like a con
2. lots of narrow black stripes BUT
a)Tail and fins are yellow
b) has long dark dangly pectoral fins
c)has two yellow spots on anal fin
d) has bright turquoise spot on each gill cover
Could it be a female Malawi mouth brooder? If so can it stay temporarily in same tank as cons and jewels or would they all kill each other?
 
Looks very similar to male Aulonocara Mamelela but not exactly. Only 2 spots on anal fin
can this be kept temporarily with cons and jewels? It's not very big, about jewel size smaller than female cons
