i first thought it was a peacock but im not so sure anymore, it was only 6 bucks at my LFS and in a mixed african cichlid tank
also if you know if its a male or female that would be great

The "peacock" isn't really a peacock. It is hard to nail down exactly, but might be a Copadichromis borleyi.l
yah man i wasnt too sure either, this one my brother bought without asking any questions, thanx for clarifying it! so do u know what it will look like fully grown or if it looks Like a female or male?
The borleyi is a male. It will turn blue and orange with some white on the fins. They are very nice.
