Looks like a bumble bee cichlid.. BUT as it is stil so small, it is hard to tell.. the stripes and color are right for one.. So yes, American cichlid..

I'm guessing Pseudotropheus crabro "bumble bee".

Tony you are probably right now that I look closer...the anal fin is much shorter on a bumble bee than this specimen has. The rainbow would fit better considering this.
