I know there have probably been hundreds of these threads, but does anyone have any idea what this is ?

My LFS had a tank full of what were labled as Flowerhorns, this was in with a tank full of red devils and nobody knew what it was, they were just sure that it wasn't part of the Flowerhorn batch that came in :ROFL:

So ..... Flowerhorn or Trimac ?

Cheers

Sorry i don't have any better pictures, he seems fine though. A little battered where he has been fighting with the bigger red devils that he was in with, he has loads of attitude !

Nodody knew what he was so i got him for around the equivilent of 2 US dollars.

Here are a few more, Will try to get some better ones of him in water later.

:nilly:

If you didn't get it from a reputable breeder and "nobody knew what it was" chances are it's a low grade flowerhorn. Pure Trimacs are not that common or cheap.
 
if its labeled as a flowerhorn. its a flowerhorn

It wasn't labled as anything, that's why i said "nobody knew what it was" ;)

Cheers, i don't have too high expectations. I liked him, and he was cheap :ROFL: Thought it was worth growing it out for a bit and seeing how it turned out.
 
If you like it, go for it. Flowerhorn can be gorgeous too, and very personable. Good luck!
 
Looks like trimaculatus, yet with these types (flowehorn, trimac etc.) you can never really know what it is unless you recieve it from a reputable breeder
