Similar to this fish? It's a red-hump eartheater, Geophagus steindachneri. Males have an orange spot on each side of the mouth whereas females do not.

Yeah, the pearls develop as they get older, plus this one was courting a female so its colors were quite vibrant. The flash on the camera makes them more vivid as well. I noted going through my photos that females have the orange spots as well, but they are much less pronounced. Females are quite bland otherwise.
