im not sure what kind though.someone else will tell u

It looks like a thorichtys species (firemouths and such) It highly resembles a firemouth, but thorichtys species are often similar.

The spot reminds me of a keyhole cichlid, but the vertical stripe along the head is missing. So I'm not so sure.....

I have a fish magazine that has a Blue Eye Cichlid in it, that looks very similar to yours.

I did a google for Blue Eyed Cichlid and came up with the name Cichlasoma spilurum

So, I googled that to get some pictures...

Here's some general information on them:
Aquaria Central

HTH.
