This is a very difficult question to answer.. this is because some cichlids you can easily identify because they may lack color, or are smaller then the males.. but in alot of cases, you wont know until you have babies. To get a more accurate answer to the question, you would have to specify which species you are referring to.

How do you tell if African Cichlid is pregnant Peacock Cichlid?
The peacock cichlid is considered a mouth brooder. During mating, you will see the mail and female circling each other and popping their fins a little bit.. it can be hard to catch, but when they are aggressively circling each other, the female drops eggs. After that, the male will pass over the eggs and fertilize them and when the female circles back around, she scoops the eggs in her mouth.. You will notice the fish stop eating after this.. that is the first indicator. You will also notice that the female will look like she is chewing alot; what she is actually doing is moving the eggs around so they will not rot..
