thats what i thought although there is a faint flowerline and the guy sold me him as a flowerhorn a few weeks back... since then all the pink/red is showing more, midas is picking on him a little hence the tail but they have eased off a bit.

It could have flowerhorn genes
they don't necessarily have to look like a flowerhorn when you mix to species together. I have a Texas x flowerhorn and it looks nothing like the flowerhorn it got the moms genes

your right dude, just after an opinion of the best forum in the world rather that a random i bought it off lol!-) he is very placid and different to most flowerhornsn with all the blue, which i like which is most imortant when adopting a larger cichlid i guess.
