Who am I?

Here's a Cichlid that I bought that wasn't labeled, and they didn't know what he was either. His face kind of looks like a little pug dog.

Looks like a jack dempsey to me, the blue on the gill plates and the fin colours look right.

Do you know how big they can get? He's also starting to show some aggression so I'm thinking of selling him. Thanks!

Around 4 inches. Malawi mbuna need to be in a species only tank due to their aggression.
