the head and front half looks like a convict some times they call them jellybean parrot fish and they charge alot when really they are a dime a dozen its a south american cichlid. but the tail and back half looks like a peacock i wonder if they cros bred.
 
It doesn't really look like an African to me. Peacock babies are brown and don't color up until they are much larger. To me it looks like a young pink convict. It is common to see those dyed. I found this picture online
