Cichlid ID please

[reK9]

Hello everyone,

Took the family to the Newport Aquarium today and saw a cichlid in the Amazon exhibit which I couldn’t identify. There was no placard displayed for this fish and the employees were unable to identify as well. Here are some pics, I know you guys won’t let me down!
Thanks in advance!
