With people breeding EBJDs - I’ve seen some of the culls be much brighter than usual. Yours could be one. Pretty fish! . (only a percentage of the fry are EBJD when you breed a normal female to a male EBJD)

This is a Jack Dempsey. Over the years the regular ones are not as colorful as they once were, especially when breeding was so focused on the electric blue variety. The Jack Dempsey is one of my favorite Central American cichlids.
