"vieja synspilus" is type of flowerhorn?

[Dominator]

This fish is very pretty. First i thought it was a pure gene, but one web site said its a flowerhorn.

 

[e!o!z!]

It's a different species.

flowerhorns are hybrids; they synspilus is an actual species . . .

here's one hint: flowerhorns don't have latin names (because they are hybrids)

Vieja Synspilum is a pure breed, Rainbow Kings on the other hand are a mix and have alot of the Synspilum traits.

Thats a high dollar website full of misinformation.

 

[BrynMichael]

Totally false info. Those people don't know jack!

this is exactly one of the reasons flowerhorns get a bad name. people that THINK they know, but in reality they have not a clue wtf they are talking about.

Thank goodness you posted your question here and got the correct answer. I find it funny they think the red head is a hybrid.
