So I went the lfs yesterday and saw a pair of cichlids about 9inches long I had no idea what they were I was thinking a tilapia of some sort but I'm unsure so any help is much appreciated

Look to be petrochromis.

Definitely not a Petrochromis. The black gill plate does not fit.

I would go with Pelmatochromis buettioferi.
