Jakob: fiskabúr verslunin var með þennan í sýningarbúri og ég fékk hann um daginn frá Gumma þegar hann þurfti að tæma búr.

You looks a real Tri to me

 

[Andri Pogo]

btw... so there is no species thats called a fake trimac, just the flowerhorn?

 

[Jakob]

Just Trimacs and FH's

 

[TrikkyMakk]

looks real to me...the tri part of the name is from the three spots on the body

Might have some non-trimac blood in him, so I guess that'd be classified as a FH, but it looks pretty darn close to a pure trimac... better colors/adult size will make it more obvious

 

[Aphilophus]

i think it is a real trimac as i have kept and breed them two ,but i think you will have beautiful girl on your hands not a male but i could be wrong

 

[TPS reports]

so the flowerhorn is the product of a crossbred trimac, right?
the guy at the lfs told me the trimac is "the poor man's flowerhorn" and i didn't know if i was the dummy or him.

That guy is a moron.

On topic, that does look like a trimac to me.
