Who said it was a cichlid though? I might be wrong but I don't think it's a cichlid. It reminds me of some kinda molly..

It's a cichlid for sure

That appears to be a tilapia species, probably blackchin or blue, maybe even a hybrid. Won't know for sure until it grows a bit. Definitely a tilapia for sure
