Looks like an FH to me. It looks allot like a trimac but I'd still say its a low grade flowerhorn.

Id say ungraded lol.. she is an awesome girl anyways regardless of what she is, I will get a decent pic in a bit. I was pretty sure many would say trimac after scrolling through Google images. ..

Yah man, I had a 6" flowerhorn that I got for $10 when he was 2" and he grew to be really ugly but he had an awesome personality.

And that's exactly what you got, 100% ZZ flowerhorn.

It's common for low grade ZZ FH to look like trimacs.

Check out the following past thread. A classic example of how easily these two fish get mixed up in the hobby, which is also why it is now so difficult to find true trimac.
