Pure Trimac?

[Cammo X]

What's your opinion on this Trimac, does it look pure to you? There's a few getting around in Australia currently being sold as pure but some are unsure.

Fish is the largest out of a handful of Juveniles about 3.5-4in. Photos are with room lights to show speckling, sorry about the glare.

Looks like a hybrid (FH) to me.

Think it’s a hybrid.

Unless there is known provenance, it's best to assume hybrid.

D dogofwar got it perfect.
With just about any cichlid, if you have to ask, it’s likely not pure due to the amount of hybridization going on today.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, it's the amount of speckling that has people wondering if they are pure or not, still undecided.

I'm receiving a few more from a different breeder with different bloodlines in a week or 2 so I'll compare both groups, might even post on here for you guys too.

Cheers all.

Definitely a hybrid, trimac don't have freckling in its body. Here's some of my trimacs past and present.
