do you have a scientific name or picture of the fish?

Perhaps you'll find more responses over at the Chiclid forum?

Just been checking it out and i believe you have one of the Stiphodon species of algae eating gobies. give me some time while i narrow down an exact match.

Stiphodon percnopterygionus. Stunning fish when they colour up.

if it's the true Emerald River Goby it's a goby not a cichlid
Stiphodon elegans

However the two do look simular
