Some kind of cichlid? Not sure exactly
Hello, it looks like pink blood parrot. They are a mix of of pink convict & blood parrot. Places in aisa will strip slime coat & die them different colors & call them bubble gum parrots. A nasty process where a good % don't survive. Hope this helps!!!!! Screenshot_20200201-061106.jpeg
Hard to tell from pic but it may just a pink convict here pics of both you decide.

Thank you I thought it was that, should I remove the baby fry or leave them until there at least 3bweeks

If wanting to keep them I would remove from tank. First time usually lose first batch. Convicts are really good at protecting & raising young so you might play by ear & see if parenting instinct kicks in.
 
They are cracking parents to be fair they take it in turns to care for the spawning fry
