Yellow Jacket Cichlid?

[TMC194]

Hi, new to the forum. Wanted to see if anyone could share some info on a fish of mine. It’s supposed to be a Yellow Jacket Cichlid (parachromis friedrichsthalii) , I believe it is but some stuff I’ve read on the internet, with the species name changes it can be somewhat confusing. If any one could confirm possible even sex that would be awesome!

That looks like a Mayan cichlid or a festae to me. Too tall of a body and the stripes are too perfect.
Yellowjacket looks more like this:

The fish you have is not even in the Parachromis genus.
it is a Mayaheros Urophthalmus (Mayan Cichlid)

Thank you for the replies! I’ve never seen a Mayan before, after looking at some google images. 100% it’s a Mayan

Still a fun fish. Not as aggressive as a parachromis, but a stunner once full grown and has a similar size. Both come from similar areas in the wild.
