Put a pic of him on your profile. There are several cichlids that fit that description so it will be best to actually see him.

sounds like a cynotilapia afra... or clown afra... or just plain old red top zebra... there are different types of afra around... like red tops... wait... i think they are red tops with blue faces... hold on...

As the person with that photo guessed - it is a yellow-finned acei. If your fish looks the same then that is what you have. I have some of my own and they are one of my more favorite cichlids due to the fact that they behave differently than most other mbunas.
