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.

This is probably correct.

Thank God there is a voice of reason in this thread...

Shot bodied electric blue dempsey for sure.
