Thanks for everyone's input here-
 
Why are you thinking of breeding him? The head and body shape scream Midas to me, not Trimac. And he's lacking the Trimac underbite too. I'm going to say mix but I'm no expert. If you don't know for sure it's not worth the risk of breeding him.
 
Where did it come from? Assume flowerhorn unless it came from a reputable source.

You cannot distinguish based on visual characteristics alone between low-grade flowerhorn and trimac.
 
I vote flowerhorn. "trimac" - three spots. How many spots do you count on your fish? :) Well thats a very unscientific way to check but...

I see feeders in your tank...for shame...
 
I say fh it has some metalic coloration coming threw that u would not find on a 100% trimac looks like he has a little zz fh in the fish to me.
 
flower horn.
