Jack Dempsey, just google you will get the info. I had my 3 with Convicts, Red Devil, Fire mouth, Flower horn, they are aggressive as they mature. I fed mine cichlid pellets with some frozen bloodworms alternated in with the regular feedings. these are another one of my all time fav's.

I was thinking Jewel as well but the lack of red that mine had on the body and the fins through me, but that is a possibility. My juvi JD's looked like this pic. I had bad experiences with my Jewel's. they were VERY aggressive with ALL of the other fish in the tank, I had to keep them in their own tank and then they fought with each other all the time.
