Fish ID help

Hi all.

Can someone identify this fish for me? I don't even think it's a cichlid but not sure. Thanks!

Welcome aboard
Not a African Cichlid but a Geophagus Cichlid specie.

Geophagus is scientific name for earth eater.
This Cichlid likes to sift through substrate so pool filter sand is best for them.

Great. Thank you!

Agreed it’s a geo.
Possibly sveni

I agree with G. sveni

Looks like a gorgeous Geophagus Sveni!
