Kind of looks like a kenyi. Great fish but pretty aggressive and that other fish before the kenyi kind of looks like a red top. Heres a picture of one of mine.

Looks like a kenyi. The one before that might be a red top zebra. ;)

yeah, its a male kennyi, and dont feel bad, mine rules over all in my tank too. best way to cool his jets is to get about 3 females for him to fancy over. you'll end up with a ton of fry if you do this, but they are a popular fish and if you have a few lfs's that are willing to take them, and the time yourself to do it, you can usualy make enuff $$ to kinda offset the cost of running your tank (i.e. food and filter supplies) most lfs's will give you store credit, but dont think your get rich off of them either. i usually get .50 - 1.00$ for each, around 1 1/2". if you let them grow out bigger, the more they will give you O0

Yeah thats a beautiful Kenyi,  I love those fish.  Mine was a nasty fish though.  It made me nervous every time I stuck my hand in the tank.  Every time I reached towards his cave he would attack my hand.  At first it scared me but now it is kinda fun.  You always have to make sure that you have enough room in your tank for them.  They are very territorial.
A little bit of Cichlid Knowledge- Don't stick your fingers next to a convict during breeding time.  It Hurts.
