What fish is this?

We bought this fish as a kissing gourami, well 2 adults and 16 sub adults.

But it doesnt show any of the "kissing" behaviour, any ideas on what it could be?

Looks like some sort of albino cichlid to me! Maybe a hybrid?

Here's a kissing gourami for comparison:

Possibly an albino severum.

Doesn't really look like a severum to me. I think it may be a hybrid as well. Don't know of any other cichlid that it looks like. Definitley not a kissing gourami though

Do you think they could be pink convicts?

the head shape is similar?

I swear I've seen that fish somewhere, but if I had to put a name to it, I couldn't, not right now anyway.

I think it may be a pink convict actually. Here is a picture of one:

Looks almost identical to your fish.

It's either a jelly bean cichlids or an albino convict which are super super aggressive.
