Default Anybody able to Id this Fish??

Hi guys, anybody able to help me ID this fishes? I found them very cute. It look like molly to me but it got parrot fish character. Always trying to pick a fight among themselves

Heard from LFS that this is the 1st time they got this fish so they had limited knowledge. Currently going to house them in my 2ft tank.

Hope any bro actually own this fish before able to advise me on the fish diet and the ideal environment. TIA
