Hnm...seems like an Yellow Wolf Cichlid
Those YWC (Yellow Wolf Cichlids) can get pretty agressive towards each other so watch out, also how big is your tank?
Pretty sure they are salvini but a bit washed out I think they are both Male as females get a black spot on their gill cover.

My tank is about 15 gallons. I think it might be Salvinis as Wills has suggested. I could be wrong though ?.
You're gonna need a bigger tank...

Salvini Cichlid: Step-by-Step Guide From Habitat to Diet
Salvini cichlids are colorful, semi-aggressive fish known for their bright yellow bodies and bold markings, adding vibrant energy to cichlid tanks.

Yikes 15g is super small for them they get 6-8 inches long and are pretty feisty. Stunning fish but I’d say 75g minimum more for their attitude than their size
Even if it is, cichlids need a bigger tank than your current one.

I'm going with salvini as well. The color is a bit washed out. But body shape and pattern around the eye and body say salvini to me.
They need a bigger tank. I'd say at least a 55, and more ideally larger since they are so mean.
