I recently got this fish, was told they didnt know what it was, maybe a texas? Thought ya'll might know. That is a seven or eight inch pot under him20210302_202711.jpg20210304_051153.jpg20210304_051209.jpg20210304_051206.jpg
 
Probably some hybrid in there but it looks mainly like a H. Cyanoguttatus (Texas) that was crossed with a short body flowerhorn (looking at the shape and face). Essentially an attempt at a red Texas that never faded.

That could be it but other than the shape it looks pure cyano too me. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like a normal texas but with a slight shortbody mutation which can happen without hybridization.
