Ive no idea what it is, but i hope its what i think it is..... all will be revealed when i find out the gender!! Haha, im crossing my fingers for this one... as if it isn't the gender i want it to be, it'll have to go :(
 
Female, rounded slightly pink belly.
 
100% female :) if you want you can check out my breeding journal in the africans section.
 
No trailing dorsal fin, and no pointed tail fin, I agree with the others and say female :good:
 
Female, 100%

Males colours are less vivid even when "in the mood"
Males have a point to their dorsal fin, which this fish doesnt have, and males have a tail fin shaped like the "spade" on the card suit "spade"
 
So this one below, is definatly a male?

Just want to make sure. :)
 
your 1st picture is female and your second is male. Females have rounded tails males have shovel shaped tails. Females dorsal fins (the one that runs along the top of the body) are slightly rounded at the end and the last bit of the fin is transparent, males have a pointy end to the fin and the colour runs all the way to the very end. Females are also more yellow in the body.

Your female just hasn't coloured up properly yet. Heres my female she had hardly any colour at all when I first added her to the tank but look at her now:-
