This guy was given to me by a LFS because they didn't know what it was. It was in with some convicts. I've been researching it and think it's a hybrid of some sort; maybe a low grade flowerhorn?

Really flowerhorn i can see it i see red around gills and went for firemouth :ROFL:
 
Is there a chance of a flowerhorn X firemouth because it is just werid like got red around gills flowerhorn body then i see fire mouth flowerhorn pattern on body :nilly:.

That or a very very low grade flowerhorn :ROFL:
 
its a hybrid its safe to say low quality short body fh
 
i'm no expert on cichilds by any means, but the body looks too deep and the darker vertical stripes dont match any of the other firemouths i've seen.
 
Yea i just saw the red and pattern and thought firemouth just short bodied? :ROFL:

But yea guess it is a very very very very very low grade flowerhorn :nilly:
 
Could it be a convict/firemouth hybrid maybe? I know for sure it is not a firemouth. This is a firemouth:
