i have one that looks like it. it is an attempt at a shortbody. lately there are alot of these around being labeled Shortbody texas and short body flowerhorn etc. on the east coast. my guess is parrot x ZZ.
 
i bought a few. one faded one looks like yours and one looks like a deformed texas.
sold the fader and i kept the other two to grow out... i need a camera...sigh
 
prolly he was in a random tank that said flower horn they had a bunch of zz and he was getting the hell beat out of him so i grabbed him the video is kinda blah for his colors because he just finished breeding and eating all the fry but the pics were when he was in breeding colors the other fish is a parrot same situation but when breeding her bars are dark black and she has red slats between, i believe hes some kind of short body or bonsai but im not sure
 
good to know if you have any like this try to get a pic up so we can compare them i have looked online and havent really found any that look like him
