Red Tiger would be my guess

It seems to have a more pointed snout like a Astronotus crassipinnis as opposed to the more commonly sold Astronotus Ocellatus

I don't think it's a red tiger as you can see in the pic it has nothing red he has yellow spots and markings before buy not he still have yellow spots below its mouth and kind of dark and clear yellow markings but then again I'm not and expert so not sure
