Help ID this aggressive cichlid

by crazyfishlady

Hi all,

So my first purchase for my new tank sold to me as an electric yellow cichlid lab. I read up about these guys and my yellow guy is anything but peaceful. He is a terror and has killed victims larger than himself. One pet store thinks he's from lake Victoria and is some kind of happ.
What do you think?

When hes feeling happy he is mainly yellow with a slightly blue chin.
However when hes feeling more terrirtorial He has black markings under his eye and bottoms two fins that flare up and slight brown stripes throughout his body.

Also he gets a black beard under his chin that goes down his belly to his two black fins underneath.
