ID help appreciated

I picked up this guy from Pet Smart as a Texes Red at a little less than 1" in length at the time.

Introduced him into a 90 gal tank along with a female juv JD/female firemouth/female convict.

The tank already had Rosy barbs and Tiger barbs (mainly as dither fish), the can hold their own compared to some dither fish, also 5 giant danios.

In a very short period of time this fish was turning into a tank killer - is it truly a Texas Red or as some of the other threads regarding TR's from PS was it mis-ID'd and something else?

Here's the killer

Right now it is about 4" and is showing no signs of slowing down - he/she will easily consume 10 rosy feeders in less than 24 hrs.

Thanks in advance.

flowerhorn has crossed my mind - I decided to keep it and see what it grows into.

looks like a flowerhorn to me. da lot of stores have been getting these in and i know that the petsmart over here by my pad has flowerhorn as well. not good quality but they are there. they might have mislabeled the fish or it could have jumped into another tank with the set ups that they have there

Thanks for the input guys - as I mentioned - it will be interesting to see what it is when mature.

I'll keep updating with pics every so often.
