Looking for an id on this fish please

Almost looks like a electric blue acara mixed with something. Cool fish!

Looks like a Hemichromis bimaculatus/Jewel cichlid. I had one about 30years ago. It was aggressive in my setup at the time.

Those jewels get pretty aggressive. This one doesn't look like a GT. Does look like that pic of the electric blue jack dempsey tho

The only thing that's confusing is the gill spot. I vote hybrid, lol
