Looks to be a dovii.

I bought him to put in a 650 gallon indoor pond I am building I was hoping it was a dovii and they had labeled him wrong

The patterns don't strike me as dovii, more like P. multifasciatus (formerly P. friedrichstahlii)

duanes do the patterns look like a stressed dovii?

I measured him when I put him in the temporary tank I have and he 13 inches long and very aggressive will charge the front of the tank at you. And when feeding I get water everywhere almost jumps out of tank I have keep a close eye just in case and have move tank lower to ground.

Pair of dovii I had at about the same size.

Whether or not pure dovii or not I can't tell, but definitely not tetracanthus (below)

I was thinking of possibly a hybrid between Parachromis ....

 

[RD.]

The fact that it was sold as a Cuban ought to be a large hint. Looks like a hybrid to me ....

I agree with everyone else. My first reaction was not pure Dovii, Before I even read all the comments.
