Looks nothing like a saum no matter what age, jack dempsey without a doubt - spot on the center of it's body along with the coloration is a dead give away for a juvenille.

Let me guess you picked it up at a PETCO or PetsMart?

 

[jbnebres]

i mean. i agree with you that its a dempsey. but to ignore some similarities....
spot on the center- not only dempseys

maybe i'm just being stubborn

 

[dirtyblacksocks]

You're being stubborn - common fish like this are easy to discern if you've been in the hobby a decent amount of time - not to be condescending or anything like that. It's just a matter of experience

It's blatantly a Rocio octofasciata, stop splurting crap that might put off the OP.

That's your choice, you can take it back and try to exchange the fish for what you thought you were buying originally or just be happy with your JD. Which it is 100%.
