I can't see the whole name, nor am I a cichlid expert, but that looks photoshopped to me. I could be wrong, but just my opinion.
 
Xystichromis phytophagus.
According to wikipedia, it is critically endangered. I don't think that picture is fake, just a very colorful fish.
 
that is certainly possibly made up, it looks like they have taken te colours off a boosemani rainbowfish. if it is real then put me down for some!!
 
ya have to it is a fake too, the scales in the green just look drawn to me...
 
here is a real pic of the fish not a drawn pic...
