What type of cichlid is this?

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.

The fish is not mine, I saw it in a pet store and was curious about it.
