I bought this guy at an LFS as a Trimac. Do you guys think I have a true Trimac or a FH? He is about 3 inches.

Sorry about the crappy pictures.

This guy is in my 125, but I doubt he will get along with my Vieja, so I am getting a 55 gallon growout ready for him. I keep calling it "him;" can anyone tell the sex?

I love this fishes personality already. I can tell he will be a glass banger.
 
FLOWERHORN!!!!!!!! only FH's have that many pearls.

I didn't know that Trimacs don't have pearls like this. Obviously I don't know much about these two types of fish. From what I have seen and read, I was thinking that the head shape of my fish indicated it was a Trimac.

Oh well, I don't care either way. I look at pics of both adult Trimacs and adult Flowerhorns and think that they are both awsome fish. I am looking forward to watching this guy grow.

Can anyone tell if it is a male or not?

Oh yeah, and, in my first post, I did not mention the fact that the LFS I got this fish at was Petsmart:) . I didn't want that to cloud anyone's judgement.

I will enjoy my $7 Flowerhorn, and I will post more pics when he grows.
 
looks FH ;)
