Need help identifying, posted on other fh pages on fh, everyone is giving mixed answers. In short, some are saying it’s a low quality flowerhorn with more the trimac genes and some are saying low quality red dragon. Located Australia. Tia

Not a trimac, those are more of a yellowish color. Trimac is part of the flowerhorn parentage though, so there is some in it, maybe more than others.
Great looking fish! Personally I think that it looks very nice, and if it fades it will definitely be considered high quality!

Yeah it's just a lower quality ZZ Red Dragon. Still not a bad looking fish, love that red color of its. I would also guess it's a female from how big it looks in the pic and the lack of a kok entirely. Kind of weird/neat that its red color cuts off in such a neat and nearly perfect line on its cheek. Definitely not something ya see too often.

Agreed except I believe it is male and kok size is not a reliable indication of gender with all the varied genetics in flowerhorns these days. but if you want to be sure then vent em yourself op.
