Really unknown for sure some say FH and severum. Some say RD/ Severum!

There's two varieties that I've heard of, but I don't think outside of the original farms no one knows for sure.

The first is the smaller variety, that are a convict/severum cross. The other that I've seen, called the King Kong variety are supposedly Midas/RD/Severum crosses.

I'm sure there's all sorts of other things mixed in there too besides some crazy inbreeding, but those were supposedly the main ingredients. Smile

FH can cross with Parrots, I have two small ones (not really fry anymore) that I have no idea who the parents are. One is splotchy but the other has fairly pronounced stripes, and the only adults remotely striped in that tank is a lone flowerhorn.

Hate to be the downer here, but that tank is now where near big enough to house that Iridescent Shark permanently. Biggest one I have seen was close to 3ft long! Personally I don't believe that this species should be sold in LFS, but that is just my opinion. These are some of the original tank busters in the hobby along with Red Tailed Cats and Pacus.

I would either look to rehome him or be looking for a tank upgrade.

I have to agree with keeper. I had one that was about 26" and still growing. I would up giving it to a store with pond because it made my 450 look small.
