Calling all Flowerhorn Cichlid experts!

[jagsandpits]

View attachment 873163 From an experienced opinion, is this a quality Flowerhorn cichlid. He is about 2 inches long, and was purchased for $7.99 at my LFS. I understand that buying flowerhorns of that size is just a gamble, but there were flowerhorns twice his size that looked the same if not, had weaker coloration, for more than triple the price. At times it seems that he looks somewhat green, is this normal for a flowerhorn of his size, or is he possibly a trimac cichlid?
Thank you.

I can't see the attachment. If he has a lot of green, he is probably low quality in regards to flowerhorn standards.

Low quality ZZ Flowerhorn, green is normal for Trimac heavy ZZ which yours is. Looks male.
