Found this fish at a LFS with no label and staff wasn't sure what it was, so am seeking help from MFK to ID it. Is it a flowerhorn or some other type of hybrid? Male or female? Would it work solo in a 75 gallon? What do you think is a fair price? Thanks in advance!

Looks like a electric blue carpinitis

Pattern is all wrong for a carpintis, but Rtc/tsn Rtc/tsn is right about the Texas heritage. My money is unfaded red Texas or (likely unfaded) red Texas x flowerhorn
