Breeding behavior perhaps?

Shaking side to side in place really fast? Typically in front of another fish, or female. Like it's trying to send sonic pulses through it's anal fin? Yep totally normal. What breed?

I think its a yellow lab but its not yellow but it has all the markings of one. I thought it was territorial but I might be wrong

Sounds like breeding behavior. Usually a male will swim near a female and shake really fast to try to breed with her. African cichlids are prolific breeders, so you will probably be seeing this a lot.
