Every CA/SA hybrid fish is not a flowerhorn. Define what a flowerhorn is. What makes a flowerhorn a flowerhorn?

Flowerhorn must have Amphilophus Trimaculatus and Amphilophus Citrinellus it it for starters. There are other fish used but those are the more dominant in the fish.

You fish was not purchased from a reputable source so it is considered a Flowerhorn because nonreputable Trimacs are usually low grade flowerhorn that were bred back to Trimac.

Original breed between red devil, trimac, and blood parot is the bases for the flowerhorn. Now, who knows with all the different breeds introduced after that. When I first got into flowerhorns, the flowerline was closer to the true trimac 3 dot but with the red devil body. Flowerhorns are pretty easy to distinguish compared to any other fish.

Thread is not about mine. Nor did I ever say mine was a Trimac. I know it has Trimac in it. ITS A HYBRID I STATED THIS.
