| I don't think it's a good enough pic for the gallery, but if someone wants to put it there, be my guest, anyway, here it is. The other side still has some scarring but I'm impressed just how fast it healed up. They're sturdy little buggers.  Whatever update was done to the forums is now chopping pictures down some too. The original is here http://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/13/43/53/10/fh10.jpg |

| Nice lookin' fish. Ya know, the more I look at FHs the more I can't help but believe a trimac has to be in the lineage somewhere. This guy could almost pass for a young trimac.

| Hardly a good pic, but thanks, I'm picky though.  Trimac.. It never even occurred to me but I'll bet your right. It would at least explain the black blotching and the complete A@#*$* behavior.  |

Here's a quote from one of the websites I was looking at...
| Quote: | | The Flower Horn fish is a mix of different cichlids of Central America, p.e. Amphilophus Trimaculatum (Trimac) or Amphilophus Citrinellus (Midas). The characteristics of these wild predecessors also affected the nature of these bulls. First, these fish were bred and traded with in Asia, some time later the flower horn craze covered North America as well. |
Here's a link to the full page...http://www.flower-horn.de/flowerhorn.html |
