I'm fairly new to keeping cichlids and a customer from my work gave me her cichlid and I have no idea what it is. He's very aggressive, especially with my other fish that are of similar sizes (he's killed two of my peacocks) but he's alright with the smaller cichlids in my tank. When I got him, he didn't have the yellow on his body but it's starting become more prominent now. He's about 15cm or so and the lady told me when she bought them, they told her it was a south american cichlid. Anyone clue?

Its not a South American. It is an African Cichlid from Lake Victoria. Looks like an zebra obliquiden cichlid.
 
Just doing a bit of reading and it says they're aggressive with anything and everything :/ think I should set up a hospital tank for my other cichlids for when he shreds them...
