You just call it a Flowerhorn or my fry from a ? X ? lol. You can't use f1,f2,f3 for hybrids lol.
Yes you can actually. The way how flowerhorn breeding generation works is another story from wild caught fish. Flowerhorn is all about project if you want to do a breeding, and keeping track of which generation it is helps you achieve what you want or reduce the chance of deformity in such standards. Here is an example...

Dad x Mom = F1
Dad x F1 = F2
F2 x Mom = F3
F2 x F3 = F4
F3 x F4 = F5
F3 x F5 = F6

Usually the 7th generation will throw out a lot of deformed fish that is not tolerated in the standard quality and will be culled. Therefore, the 7th generation must be bred into another fish out there and start off with F1 again if you want a new project. This is how it runs in the flowerhorn line of breeding, and it plays a whole different game from wild caught fish where anything in the wild will be considered as F0. ;)
