ID please. I think it's a hybrid

I picked this up as a rescue. He is 7-8" and was in a 29 gallon tank. I was told that he is a JD. It looks to me, like it's a JD/Parrot mix. Any help would be appreciated.

Possibly a JD/Texas cross? It's definitely not a 'natural' specimen, the head shape hints at Texas but the scale pattern and mouth appears more JD; either way it's definitely short bodied or compacted.

i completley agree with japes he sure looks likr a tex dempsey cross

looks like a bonsai red texas. check out aquaticwonderland.com and look at the flowerhorn gallery and compare it to his bonsai red texas

Let's see the pics, it sounds cool.

I was thinking Parrot, mainly because of the back half, but I can definately see the short bodied Texas in it.
