It's labeled as a golden horseface cichlid. I have no idea on what to research about this guy. I like his personality. Can you provide me with the basic info like temperament, max size and tankmates? Thanks.

You nailed it Mike. Now I can research, thanks.
 
I have 3 regulars right now in a 75. they get about 8 inches and are pretty mellow considering they are rift lake cichlids but the males are very mean to females. I started with 5 but ended up with multiple males. the sub dominants looked like they were shredded on a cheese grated when i found their bodies despite looking fine hours before. i have mine with aulonocara steveni and cyrtocara moori (dolphins) with no issues aside from dom male-unwilling female-sub dominant male aggression. despite being open water cichlids I find cover really helps with aggression
