I was at my LFS the last week and saw this fish. I wanted to get it. But, my tank was still finishing my cycle. I couldn't find a label or reference to this fish on their tanks and the employee did not know. I took a couple pictures hoping that someone on these forums would know!

The orange one is a blood parrot I believe, and the yellow one is a "yellow lab" they are both cichilids. The yellow fish is really pretty, and the blood parrots are goofy and can act more like a pet than a fish :p
 
Parrot Fish are man made hybrids. Some have trouble eating because of mouth deformities. They are South American Cichlid hybrids AFAIK.

The Yellow Lab is African and should not be a tank mate. They prefer different water conditions and diets.
