cichlid ID please - Aquarium Advice

I recently got this tank and cichlid from my buddy. He didn't know what kind of cichlid it was. I'm assuming he bought it from one of those "assorted cichlid" tanks. He or she is about 3 years old and about 6 inches long. Any help or opinions are appreciated.

if you go to the second picture "large male" it's a dead ringer

I agree. I suppose my original post was correct. lol

I think its safe to say you have a male Bumble Bee Cichlid.

They can be pretty aggressive so I'd watch what tankmates you put with him.
