Cichlid ID

My friend a while back got a tank with some unknown fish. One of them is this cichlid. When he got him it was all beat up, had no fins at all. It looks like a keyhole, what do you guys think?

Cichlasoma Paranense ( Parana Port Cichlid )

Hope that helps. :)

I've seen them in several different places (Petsmat Petsupermaket Big Als) and they (store) call them Jewel cichlids.

not a jewel cichlid

I agree with digi, a parana port most likely
