unknown cichlid

Hi,

I recently purchased 5 fishes from a breeder . he said these are red dragon flower horn babies however, when I checked with other shop owners and enthusiasts, they say it a cross between flowerhorn and an unknown fish. can anybody guess what they are???...they are quite aggressive towards other fishes .....pics are attached as well

low grade flower horn, flower horn are already mixed with other fish, but if I'm understanding right then it was a red dragon crossed back over with a species already "inside" the flower horn, then I would say trimac, or midas/red devil

Definitely a red devil/ flowerhorn mix! Look at those lips and then the body styling of a ZZ flowerhorn with the flowerhorn markings.

Doesn't look like a SRD but who knows might be a low grade SRD.

Here is my Red Dragon flowerhorn for a comparison I just sold to make room

Some lower grades flower horn but resembles red devil when small

don't know much about fh
what does a 'low grade'one mean and what's the difference between that and a fh?

One with characteristics that are not intended or desired. Grade is an opinion but generally you can tell by your tastes. But they are all flowerhorn
