Hey guys, had this sold to me as a flower horn, well now I know it's not a flower horn my only question is wtf is it

 

[Chockful O Phail]

Offcast hybrid of whatever flowerhorn they were actually trying to breed. No way to tell other than has some vieja in it.

Most resembles veija fenastratus.

Would that make it a flowerhorn or a hybrid vieja

I think a flowerhorn and a hybrid veija are the same thing...

Ah ok, so what would I call it, is either fine or would that be aquatic blasphemy

Because its a hybrid, you can call it (they can call it) whatever they/you want, most hybrid names including the name flowerhorm are used as marketing tools.
To be fair you could call it a hybrid fake Vieja X.

It does look like someone tried to (or accidentally) cross a couple different species of Vieja like fenestratus, or hartwegii (as stated above) or breidhori, but there is really no way to tell for sure.
Here is a breidhori

Thanks, If you have any information on breeding them, it would be much appreciated
