Three Spot/Trimac or Flowerhorn???

[BigTim15]

So i was just at petsmart about 2 minutes ago and saw some 3 spot cichlids. I knew they were trimacs and though that trimacs were pretty rare and wouldnt be sold for $4. So i was wondering since it is probly not a TRUE trimac is it a flowerhorn? If it was a flowerhorn would it be low grade?? I am thinking about picking one up just to grow it out and to see what it will turn out as....

True, but still might grow into a nice fish.

Experience, with a quick search you can find a dozen threads on the "petsmart" trimacs

How can one be so sure without pics?

because for the price petsmart charges, and based on the general availability of trimacs
