Its a jack dempsey cichlid, they come from Central America. They can reach 8" or so and are aggressive. Judging by the gill pattern I will say its a male jack dempsey.
What size tank is he in with your oscar out of interest.
Agreed 100% I used to own a female....

thankyou he is in a 360litre tank and swims around with the oscar
What are the tank measurments as it sounds to small....when you say oscars how many? watch for aggro in a small tank
Would anyone else be rather worried anout an LFS who didn't know what a Jack Dempsey was and who sold it on without knowing?
I'd find another aquatic store to deal with tbh.
Problem is you will find lot's of people open fish shop's as it's an exstention of there fish room basically......So they tend to deal in what is safe for them where the comfort zone is.......This is perfectly normal....Then you have to remember people get fish even if from other source's..Discover they grow to big, can't be bother to rehome them, so head down to the lfs with a bucket and say please take this of my hands.....Suddenly the shop owner has a fish he may not know anything about.....
.
sorry but if you can't find info on that fish from the owner, ask to take a photo then armed with that pic/this web and google surely it could get an i/d before you buy it......
