Hmm, it's a unique looking fish, not sure it technically is a FH, looks FH x synspilum or something to me. I like him personally. Any more pics, side on maybe?

I also wasn't sure it was technically a FH too. Haven't got any pictures from the side yet, but I will probably end up picking him up as I have taken a liking to it!

How do you think it would go in a 5 ft tank with 2 x blue acaras?

Flowerhorn is just a blanket term for hybrid CA cichlids, anything that isn't pure could be called "technically" a flowerhorn. Synspillum is a good guess as to what this guy is mixed with. It looks like a nice fish to me, though it is not a "high grade" flowerhorn which would do well in competitions. But if you just want it for your own personal pet and you don't care about what some judge would grade it, then it doesn't matter.
Not a good idea to mix with blue acara's however.

Thos should be moved to hybrid section.
