This fish appears to be a cichlid. What type is it?

I think its a very sick Midas. Is it yours or have you seen it in a store? The black markings are likely from stress and can be a sign of iffy water, they have a wound on the side and the red around the gills concern me too.

It's a midevil.

Without proper documentation of its lineage, it's impossible to determine whether it's a red devil, midas, or other amphilophus hybrid.

As Wills mentioned, the fish isn't at 100% health. Good water and food will fix the condition, though you should note the white growth on the right side. I'd wager a guess that it's lymphocytosis, which is an incurable virus. Should clear up when stress levels reduce, as it's similar to herpes and is triggered by stress.
