that looks like a red jewel. the cichlid swimming on it's side was probably shaking at this one. african cichlids typically do this as a sign of dominance or as a display to show it wants to spawn.

it's a young male terror. still just a baby though. you can see the color coming out on the fins. a female would have little or no fin color at this size. looks as though he's only about 2in. he looks like he'll grow to be a nice one.
