Is this a flowerhorn?

[Anthrax]

i picked it up for a few dollars from petsmart and I'm not 100% sure on what it is. It has the common pattern on the side that other flowerhorns have and looks very similar to other baby flowerhorns that I've seen but I have never seen one with stripes like that. Any idea on what I have?

It wasn't. I know it's still pretty early but I'm leaning towards male.

What do you mean by a "fader"

I'm not well versed in flowerhorns at all

No mean, not gender but was it not labelled as Flowerhorn or another RT/Trimac cichlid?

It wasn't really even labeled. It came from petsmart and was in a tank with a bunch of other types of cichlids. It looked like a flowerhorn to me but it's striping pattern threw me off a bit so I wasn't sure.
