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?
 
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
 
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 hard to tell to be honest, cause of the quality of the pic. but what i can see and the color it look like a mix

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

why should i take him back?

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%.
 
thanks guys...i like him so far so idk if i wanna take him back i will wait and see, the lfs around here are pretty hillbilly so im gonna go to the nearest city sometime soon and look around
