Post a pic...
You're setting yourself up for someone to say it's not a trimac without the benefit of even seeing it. Even if you post a pic, you'll get someone that will tell you it's a flowerhorn because most people have no idea what a real trimac even looks like.
My trimac juvies get a very thin red tip on their dorsal and tail.

Mine has a red strip along the top of the dorsal fin. How long it will stay there, I don't know. It doesn't show well in these photos but it can clearly be seen in person. Here's my female about 3.5-4". She has some nice little teeth coming in too.
That's a nice female balton. She looks like she's been a little roughed up on the sides. Spawning? My females get roughed up like that when they spawn.
well ihave some nice pictures but my dog chewed up my usb cable so i cant upload em = ( but the redish coloring on urs look EXACTLY like the red coloring on my trimac but how can u tell urs is a female?

I wasn't asking if my fish is a trimac or a FH.... i was just asking if it is common for juvenile trimacs to get red coloring on there tail and dorsal but thx for the input.... but i just realized my little trimac looks almost EXACTLY like the one pictured above but mine looks a little beefier and colors look more distinguished.

She was getting beat up in another tank. I moved her to this tank the day before the pics. Hopefully she'll be able to grow out in here.

Odie, yours sounds cool. Can you get another cable? I think I speak for everyone when I say we want some pics-lol. Females will have a blotch on the dorsal fin.
i got 3 males and they all have that red tones in fins and throat. they look just like the pictured, but starting to show more red on the throats. they are from 2-4inches.
