I Have a Trimac(M) and a Red Devil(F) Breed.
Are the young considered flowerhorns and if so what will they be called.
 
No they would not be flowerhorns. You could call them anything I guess It took years of select breeding to get flowerhorns. They have a lot of different genetic "parents". To be a "new" breed then all of the offspring must turn out similiar to each other. Your fry you will have some that look more like a Trimac and then you will have some that looks more like the Red Devil and then they will be the fry that have a mixed look.
 
What exactly makes a FH a FH??? Is it any crossbred fish?????????

No, Flowerhorns now are breed like any other fish. You have a male flowerhorn and a female flowerhorn. The flowerhorn was created throught the process of breeding several species of new world cichlids togeather and keeping the offspring that had the desired trait ( long fins; red color; good flowerline) The newer strains of flowerhorns focus mainly on intense color ; long fins; kok and pearls. Flowerhorns are almost at the point were you could not really call them hybrids( yes they are still hybrids in the fact that they do not occur naturally in the wild and that they have been bred by man), anymore because they will breed and have fertile offspring.
 
Well you won't know if they are flowerhorns until they get bigger now will you. Because that red devil might be a flowerhorn. haha. Oh, and wait that Trimac might be one too. haha again.
