I’m going to assume you knew it was a hybrid and are trying to pinpoint of what.
My guess is that it has Texas cichlid mixed in and definitely some other flowerhorn type.

This fish is most likely a hybrid of 2 hybrids
So, no way to know for sure exactly what the make up is.

That's cool, my guess is that this guy will be very aggressive towards other tank mates

It's definitely not an electric blue acara. This is something Central American.

IMO it's just a short-bodied electric blue Jack Dempsey or something with Dempsey in it. The black body markings and face are very Dempsey-like.
id agree with that. I mostly deal with African so I was just givin it a wild shot lol i can def. see Dempsey.

It was sold to me as a electric blue Dempsey, but I had my doubts
