New flowerhorn black?

[m_sol]

Just picked up this female flowerhorn. Seen it multiple times at my LFS and she was always the same dark color. Any idea what the strain of FH she might be?

By the way, she is usually darker but when she lightens up to bully she has these two distinctive chrome like dots on her mid side and tail on both sides.

Looks a bit like a jaguar cichlid.

Looks like a mix of a flowerhorn and a jag, but really black.

Certainly looks like a jag x fh cross.
Won't say the best but an interesting pickup.
Good luck, growing it out and watching her progress could be interesting.
Do post updates. Do try out a lighter background and sand sometime, maybe it could help her lighten a bit.

I wonder if her colors will lighten up as she grows?

That's what I was hoping for haha. Let's just hope she doesn't turn out as aggressive as my Jagovii. But I'll surely post updates and get some light sand and background soon!

Hopefully
The black is pretty cool looking too!

She seems a little lighter today, I'll post some pics soon. They definitely are! She was bullying my male so I had to put a divider for the moment.
