It is an african cichlid from Lake Malawi which will grow to be 5-6 inches long. Although the water parameter needs of your fish do not match and forum members will tear you a new one, it should be alright for a few months until you decide if you want to invest in an african tank setup or leave it as it is. If you leave it with the oscars they will quickly outgrow it and, unless by some miracle they are mellower than Cheech & Chong, will kill it.

As far as specific species, it is probably a yellow lab (Labidochromis caeruleus) but there are several yellow species. To know for sure we need a picture of it from the side.
 
ok im going too invest in a new tank iwas not too sure when i but it in the tank on how fast it would grow and the oscars are bigger but a lot more dosile than the one i lost thanks for the heads up no props
 
Just noticed this post and just responded to our other one, "any ideas".

Is this one of the tanks you want tonhook up a common filtering system for with your tropicals?
