don't you know flowerhorn is just another name for hybrid now lol. I see what they are saying though, your fish does have a very faint flowerline which I have never seen on a cyan. Could be a hybrid but kids just like the word "flowerhorn."

Flowerhorn = hybrid. Hybrid = flowerhorn. They're synonymous.

It doesn't look like a "pure" cyano to me based off the faint pearl line. That better?

No offense, but how did you fail to take clear pictures of an unmoving fish?


I agree that it could be a hybrid, but its not one that would be sold as a FH. It looks a bit more like a Carpintis to me though.

Now that the fish isn't stressed I take back my hybrid post.

Looks like a normal cyano.

Agreed, cyan 100%. There isn't an outline along the outside of the spots like a flowerhorn would have.

Is that one of the little carp's you bought from me? He's looking NICE!
