Hi everyone! I'm new to SA cichlids but I have been a fish keeper of community fish for years. I recently started and cycled my new 90 gal and wanted a large growing cichlid to be a one and only in the tank. I found a local non-chain petstore that had a decent selection of larger SA stock. I purchased a "golden flowerhorn", however I think this was not an accurate ID on what he/she truly is even tho it is a younger fish at about 4in in length. Wanted some opinions on if this fish is indeed a young "flowerhorn" or what I see as being a midas hybrid. The black spottings or what they said were "flowers" are what throw me off, cause I didn't see alot of midas pictures online with these spots but I assume maybe they will fade with time or maybe my assumption is wrong on being a midas hybrid. Thanks for your help and excited to lean your thoughts/opinions. Sorry to be one of those "please ID my fish" question asker with horrible pics of their fish! The forum wouldn't allow me to upload my video.
