dont texas cichlids only have one spot on the body?

I don't think that is a Jack Dempsey. The Jack dempseys I have seen are dark almost black with blue spots.

when i bought it they said it was some sort of shark and a texas.

 

[thatcichlidguy]

Texas generally have one prominent spot but can have other spots that are fainter on the body depending on their mood as well as a spot near the tail .
