Well.... Whatever it is keep it! Grow it out. Cause if it really is a JD/Texas cross it will look super awesome come maturity. One of my favorite hybrids. I personally see a bit of jd and texas. Probably more so texas though. Just keep us posted as it grows out with more pics please.
 
I had a jack x Texas hybrid at one time it was taller bodied. I got rid of it because it was taking bites out of my Oscars. Should have kept it but I thought it wais ugly anyways.
 
I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you what it isn't. And that fish is NOT a Pure 100 percent Jack Dempsey. Its just not. So now lets wait and see what it turns out to be.
