this came from jeff??? i would say hybrid by the pics but jeff alwasy gets the real deal


if its from mr.rapps he ALWAYS gets the real deal. nice trimac. just REALLY REALLY looks like a hybrid
 
I wouldn't be sure anymore...
 
A few people said the same thing about my former juvie Trimac from Rapps but as he grew, everyone could see he was 100% Bad A*s Trimac. If it's from TUIC, I have no doubt it's the real thing.
 
Hey Balton - that was you? Post a pic up!

I think somebody else got some RAPPS trimacs recently, and they were also flowerhorns... let's hear from him also?



wow nm then.
thats friggen crazy. over at the hybrid forums we trust anything that guy says... guess things change
 
im torn in half though, i trust the reputaion of mr.rapps superbly, but as a breeder of hybrids i tust my eyes also.... ahhhh !!!!!


99% of crappy flowerhorns i cull look like this thats why i was iffy
 
Here he is...this is from TUIC. Somepeople said this is a FH too. It's sad that hybridizing has brought the hobby to this point. Some people said his flowers didn't show up enough and others said he's too sparkly. Others said his shade of green is wrong and body shape is off. Chago said he's a FH because Trimacs don't have any blue in their fins.

BS I say.

haha it may be said, but fish are pretty :)
 
You're right - everybody thinks everything is a hybrid these days, including myself, to some extent.

I did in fact have some true trimacs about 10 years ago - and at that point, they would have been true trimacs - They were triangle shaped, grayish green, with hot red eyes.

And of course, there's SELECTIVE BREEDING amongst true species Trimacs, I am sure - so they would understandably look different also.
