New fish questions

[Brett aler]

Does anyone know what the red marks near the gills are? And does anyone know specifically what fish this is a buddy doesn’t want it anyone more thinks it’s a Jack Dempsey

it is a hybrid flowerhorn cichlid of some sort. Looks like a lot of carpinte in it. Definitely not a pure bred fish. Red marks on the gills might just be coloration of the fish, without better pics cannot say really

I was thinking the same, the first half (face) of the body is very much carpintis

Similar to an unfaded red texas I had. The redness on the cheeks and the tail.

Agree with the others, probably a hybrid, defiantly not a jack dempsey.

Thank you so much for the insight I will try and get a better picture out there today
