This fish is pretty aggressive to large fish does not fight them but runs them around the tank even stands up to red terrors but does not do harm

It is one of the Madagascan Paratilapia species, the profile appears male, but.....if it is the only one of its species in the tank, females can take on dominant traits.
here's one of my males
and a female
a few more females(?) also...sub-dominant males can take on female traits

There are at least 5 different variation of Paratilapia that may at some time be given species status, he ones above are sp "small spot"
below is a LFS variant, that may or may not be hybrid, due to importers not realizing the species difference
and below, a young Paratilapia sp. andapa
