All I know is thats its a very active fish, likes to go between big rocks caves, re decorates the tank, and gets kinda mean with his/hers tank mates. Help me I.D it. So ill know what to do with it. Im thinking is an oscar?... but who knows im no expert.

Please Help! thank you.
I tried to take a pic.. but couldnt, he moves to fast for my digital cam. So I decided to make a video.

that is some sort of african rock cichlid or "mbuna" its a special color phase so im not good enough for an exact i.d. just by body shape. oh and its a male.
 
I'd guess a zebra cichlid or something, like everyone else said...It will not do well in a community situation
 
Yep looks like an OB zebra to me, under the genus Maylandia/Metriclima. VERY poor choice for a comminuty fish, as it will become extremely aggressive, requires a certian water chemistry similar to that of Lake Malawi, and a diet very high in vegetable matter.

I suggest removing it.
