That would qualify as a FH, but what kind is anyones guess. Alot of the Breeders of FH make up names depending on what They look like. If I were to gues based on color I would say it has some Red Devil in it. How much is the LFS asking for it.
he brought the fish not long ago, and for now he dosnt intend to sell it.
he said he brought it from Taiwan.
i saw a thread here which i agree with that said anyone who have a cross breed betwin big american cichlids calls the fry fh.
the photo i posted isnt very good but its only one i have, according to what i saw the fish has an exact body of a vieja but with other color.
in my country you cant get fh because there isnt any, and in the last couple
of years the lfs sold trimac under the name fh, and here the people and the sallesman dont know phrases like Kamfa red dragon and so on.
just last year i bought a trimac from him and i saw the parents of the fish and they were pure trimac, but the lfs and other lfs argued with my that its an fh, and now that he brought this big orange fish he admits it was a trimac,
and what he have now is fh.

to me it looks like a texas vieja mix

Trimacs are what alot of FH were derived from. They would cross a trimac with something else until they got the desired colors. Now a days you can breed different types of FH to get different colors. From what I hear it is hard to find "True" Trimacs anymore.
yes i heard that in the states its hard to find a true trimac these days and that its value on the market is rising again. but here you can find pure trimac allmost for sure and for an fh the picture i posted are the only closest thing we have in israel to an fh.

Youre actually right about the mix. The face & structure look like a red syn. It would be considered a Kamfa though.
Those from Taiwan are called Fortune fish. Whatever. Theyre all muts. Look good or not is what matters most. I love the face.
i agree with the second pic is a fortune fish.....the first one..it gotta have red syn in him.....might be fadin?
hmmm that looks very similar to my mystery fish, i always thougt he was some kind of devil or midas, possibly crossed with something else. sorry for the blurry pictures, he thought it was feeding time and wouldnt stop looking at me
