If it has peachish red around the lower gill plate/throat area then it is a saddled acara(Aequidens tetramerus)or it could be a aequidens patricki or rondoni.

Sorry Aeonflame, but I don't know what that fish could be
I just wanted to say your acaras look great.
They are among my favorite fish.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I am 95% sure that this is the port/brown Acara other wise known as the Cichlasoma portalegrensis.
