Trip to Shedd - can you ID this?

[ukgoffer]

Had a great trip to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago today. Flying back to NYC now. Saw this guy in the Amazon section with the other monsters but couldn't identify - just under a foot long. Can you ID for me?

No idea on the ID but It's been like a decade since I been to the shed and it's 20 minutes from me lol I hear nothing but good things about their cichlid selection especially their monster Midas.

Not a great photo but def monsters. Over 3 maybe 4'. Four of them I think.
