Looks like it might be a true Parrot cichlid, Hoplarchus psittacus.

I sit at a 7ph so maybe I don't do that and subject them to that

If your water is soft, and mineral poor, the true parrot may tolerate pH 7 well.
Especially if you can add antibacterial tannins.
Below are some sample water parameters taken in the rivers they are found in northern S America.
