:huh: Hard without a picture but it may be an Oscar or a Jack Dempsey (right now my brain won't differentiate). Google them, or go to a cichlid site!! (Ha, a JD for JD).

can't be an oscar or a JD, those are both Central/South American

Could be an OB (orange blotched) something. Google for images of OB peacock, OB zebra, and OB fuelleborni.

Although you said African it does sound like a tiger oscar, especially with the flourescent orance circle on the back fin.
