I got this cichla about 7 months ago and the guy had no idea what kind he was. He was pretty malnourished from eating nothing but goldfish so i pellet trained him and now his colors are coming in great can anyone tell me what kind of cichla species he is?

Mono or mono/occel hybrid hard to tell from pic. Nice pike.

Nice, but I would be worried about the shovelnose, if it's a fan it will outgrow your cichla and eat them, and if its a lima the cichla might kill it.
 
hes fine for now i've had it for about 4 years he doesn't mess with anyone however, he may outgrow my tank it is 180 gallons. All my fish get along surprisingly. I have an oscar as well and a small parrot fish but i've never had any issues with my fish attacking eachother. The pike is the only trouble maker he chases everyone around. The baby p bass i am raising are in a seperate tank i wont introduce them until they're big enough
