Can you guys tell me what exactly he is? I'm new to Africans. Thanks!

I don't think anyone can tell you exactly what that is, but it is some sort of orange blotch peacock.

Yes, he is "exactly" a hybrid with Lake Malawi ancestry that nobody can exactly know what is in the hybrid mix, except the cichlid has the mutant OB (irregular orange blotch) gene. This OB gene is natural in a few species of Lake Malawi Mbuna and Lake Victoria cichlids and has been bred into unnatural hybrids for sale in the aquarium trade.
