It looks like an African Cichlid to me. What makes you think it’s not?
Someone else on another post was telling me he did not think it was. But the guy I got it from has hundreds of them I was not sure just wanted to check. But thanks . Do you know what is best to mix with them?
 
I’ll do some more digging for you. Where did you get the tank? If your got it from a friend, text him and ask where he got it and ask if he knows what it is. If you don’t know his phone number, I’ll do some research for you. ;)

He is a breader and he has like 15 tanks and a lot of fish I checked with him last night and he is positive it is an African. Sooo confused ‍♀️♀️
 
Maybe it is an African cichlid of some sort.
There was another picture posted in the other thread which led me to believe it may possibly be a very pale jack Dempsey. But it's so hard to tell with the pictures and his current color. The head shape to me looks more like a jack Dempsey than any sort of African that I know of.

What color are his markings on the side?
 
Some more photos

I’ve been doing some research and I haven’t found anything that looks like your fish. I’m starting to think it’s not an African Cichlid. I’ll keep doing research to find out what your fish is.

Not a Jack Dempsey, no spots.
 
It’s actually looks more like this guy:

The one on the left. But, I’m not sure what it’s called yet.
