Very nice. Not to derail, but how do you tell a Trimac from a Flowerhorn?

oh ok i see now. your fish look great haha that pink con looks HUGE....

do you have any problems with them wanting to breed in there? you stock list is great. how big are your biggest cichlids? oh love the aros, they look fantastic too

No breeding pairs in the tank, though the smaller JD was a female but looks to be male. Only m/f combo is the snooks and theyve shown no signs(female is in QT with injured eye currently). The biggest is the RD at 10.5"

When small it is very hard to tell, once larger can become easier. Best is to buy from a reputable dealer or breeder to be sure, even then? Below is a pic of an 6.5" trimac from Petsmart, definetly a hybrid or FH.

The fighting has seemed to calm a little. With this tank when ever I add a new fish they all seem to fight a bit to reestablish the pecking order. Always calms down after about a week, had my female snook get beat pretty bad though this time. She's in QT not sure if she will lose her eye or not.

The only way to KNOW they are pure, is to buy from a reputable source. Poor quality FH can look exactly like pure trimacs. If in doubt, concider it a hybrid please.
