remember the threads about petsmart trimacs

I bet he's going to say that all the pictures are of the petsmart trimac . In any case you won't be able to tell the difference, so if it is the petsmart one, its likely a flowerhorn anyway.

F1 Trimacs from rapps, he has never had wild stock. I think you need to get your info straight. I have emailed him a few times about this.

i've seen rapps sell plenty of F1 trimac's- why- because i was considering buying myelf a few. i would much rather trust his opinion than yours, he keeps,imports and breeds the fish himself.

My only question would be,if you are looking for a Trimac or any true blood Cichlid,why waste your time and money going to Petsmart or Petco or whatever name they use???

ok here it is and let me say first off whoever made the post about rapps not having wild caught should know that f1 are the offspring of wild caught so all your lolrof smileys make you look like you need more information.. but anyways pic 1 is petsmart, pic 2 is rapps, pic 3 is rapps, pic 4 is rapps pic 5 is petsmart and pic 6 is rapps. the pics dont really show the diff in color but the petsmart tri is much darker then that of rapps. the one u see hanging out close to the back of the tank is a f1 trimac from jeff rapps but to say the one from petsmart is a lowgrade fw is a tough one to figure out maybe it is a true tri and maybe it isnt but none the less they do look very much alike. but good input for the most of you guys.
