Would you say this is a Trimac?

[justarn]

i wanted i female (eek) flowerhorn/ un-pedigree trimac what ever we call it!-) male would be cool but would probably cause havoc from what ive read!

 

[the animal guy]

Most definitely not a pure Trimac right off the bat. Just barely starting at the tip of the mouth.

 

[justarn]

what you mean about the tip of the mouth troy? we have been right over the fact that its highly unlikely its pure, about as likely as getting a pure midas from a lfs!-) RD and i had a right ol debate lol...

A true trimac female will have the dorsal spot.
Here is a true trimac male from years back, in the foreground.

female in spawning colors

dunno, i thought the dorsal spot was a pretty full proof way of telling its a female??

Dont thry say 99% accuracy using the spot to sex males tho? 1 in 100 males may have dorsal spotting I read?
