Cichlid Id Please Help

[Herpetology!]

Okay I was told it is a "krepensus" cichlid. I don't buy it, can't find anything on it. It'd apparently a dwarf and takes alot from the yo yo loach and the white fin blue shark. It's rather docile. It's south american, I was told.

Note the colors on the pectoral fin and the belly colors, which became very brilliant when it was introduced to our tank (We were told they would brighten up in good conditions).

Looks like a female if you're curious... they can be docile, but they can also get pretty mean at times.. just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't go gangster on you.

kribensis are easy to keep and breed, they arent overly aggessive but can sometimes be when breeding, they are african and that particular one is a yellow kribensis.

It's just a regular kribensis.. there are yellow colored kribensis.. but they are known as albinos.
