Its over a foot long, pink chest and black vertical body stripe, but has a small but not really significant lump on its head.
I used to haave it with a synspyllum cichlid which grew much faster and got the male head hump.

The male is larger, with more intense colors, and with age develop a hump on their forehead. Males have a pointed genital papilla.
