For some reason the other pic won't post. But it looks similar anyway

The mature males will have very extended first few rays of the dorsal. The
mature females will be smaller than males and their bellies turn deep red
when they are in the spawning mood.

thats frmoa site i found. i havent looked at a 2nd one yet but it looks like a female.

Looks like a Golden Ram which is an aquarium bred xanthistic variety of microgeophagus RAMirezi. The regular ones are called German or blue rams.

One of my favorites

I just saw a bunch of Golden rams at a [acronym:ebab39b8b3="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:ebab39b8b3] and I must say, that looks like what you have--very pretty fish!
