It's a Paratilapia sp. small spot, aka Paratilapia polleni, a Madagascan cichlid that maxes out around 10 inches. Very cool fish!

bingo!
 
definitely another small/midsized cichlid I'd like to keep if I get the space.

anyone happen to know if they are easily sexed?
 
Males develop a nuchal hump and have more pointed dorsal and anal fin ends. That one looks male to me.
 
not that many spots
niver seen one in person
look like great fish
