Need Help Identifying these 2 fish

[Chrisplosion]

Veiltail Tiger Oscar and very low grade female Flowerhorn. I don't see a reason to say its a fader though.

What do you think goes into making a flowerhorn?? That is why I mentioned it. There are definite Trimac traits there.

Thats clearly a dirty* Flowerhorn, no way is that a pure Trimac. Some low grade Flowerhorn very closely resemble a Trimac to where its impossible to distinguish and some have a dirty look to them that makes its very apparent they are not Trimac. Secondly the fish was not bought as a Trimac and not from a rep source so its best to assume its not pure, even though in this case its clearly not a Trimac.

*I'm not saying this to disparage the fish

My bad...I know nothing about Trimacs

second one is a flowerhorn firemouth hybrid. look at the shape of the fins that says firemouth and the rest says flowerhorn

ok. so based on that info though. does he need to be rehomed or will they work out their differences?

 

[Chrisplosion]

I would rehome it personally. With that tank size, even it being female, it could still mess up some of the other fish in the tank.

Agree that it's a hybrid. Mutant looking. I mean its a cool looking fish but it doesn't fit into a single species profile that I know of. The pattern is fh, but the fins and jaw are not.

The second pic could be a flowerhorn and.midas mix. Hybrids sometimes do not get the spotting especially if the midas or devil was a blotched one.
