cichlid_8810, it is hard to find a true trimac because of the flowerhorn craze. You should find true specimens from reputable breeders. I think that my current trimac is sourced from Conkel F0 or F1 parents (please chime in, if you see this, Gage.)
yep they are f0 breeders selling f1s fulll blood line not that crap that some people are selling !!!!

I know ,i just dont like when people speak without facts. Especially these new guys that only show up with negative things to say on their first post. I only get my fish from reputable sources(NONE OF MY SOURCES HAVE BEEN WRONG YET)and will keep doing so until they stop selling fish or i run out of tank space:ROFL:
 
and on a sec note my mentor that taught me most of what i know has done more expeditions than anybody on this site hands down !!!!!!!!! and collected more cichlids from Africa to cen and south America than anybody on this site !!!!lol so when he collected these trimac him self there isnt much ? lol
 
Ira also has the same bloodlines as you gage,and yea your trimacs are with out question.

me and rapps have some of the only good bloodlines so i can tell u if it has my name or rapps name u got what u paid for !!!!!! i take alot of pride in what i sell and the quality of what i sell and so does he !!!

+1 to that,

I didn't reply to poster at the time because I would have had nothing nice to say. I think you and Buddha summed it up pretty well. Somebody was just trying to get a rise without any contribution to the thread.

This is a great thread and I would love to see more pictures posted. I agree the FH craze has made Trimacs become a much maligned species. Anything with a little more red or and extra spot or two is accused of being a FH, not really fair if you look at the diversity of the species collected from different locations.
