I just took over the tank and I'm not sure what species of Cichlid that I have here.
 
Thanks for you help in advance.

My first thought on looking was a Rotkeil Severum. but from looking at pictures of the Green, they look pretty similar. Are these the same strain with different names?
 
I might add I am no expert on this, I have got a Rotkeil, but am by no means widely read on Severums.
 
It could easily be a rotkiel severum as well, due to the fact that it contains a lot of red, but generally care info on severums is all the same and are mostly peaceful giants :)
 
I think, although I am not 100% sure, you may have a female Belem, the tiny red spots on the nose (males have more) female green severums have a darker brownish green body, I did have a picture of my green female but cannot find it.
 
Male Belems
