Flowerhorns and ilk

[santoury]

At what point is a Flowerhorn a Flowerhorn?

What I mean is, we all know there are lots of cool cichlid combos happening here and there - What exactly makes for a Flowerhorn?

For example, TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, wouldn't ANY Cichlid hybrid be termed a "Flowerhorn" per se? Since there are several parental strains to the flowerhorn complex. Is there some "requirement" for a Flowerhorn to "be" one?

I don't think the people who developed the FH told any body their secret mix of cichlids. I could be wrong, but from what I have seen/heard/read, the FH's "evolution" seems to be a story surrounded by mystery.

I guess that did kinda have a *** fairytale sound to it. But I stick with my first statement no matter how cheesy it sounded. LOL
