Yes, Petsmart sell them as Trimac, don't believe that they have full blood Trimac.

Michael, the Flowerhorn websites tend to be a little limited in info but definately worth checking out. Try aqualandpetsplus.com in iowa. The webmaster (or mistress) "LA" is both funny and informative.

this is trimac, or 3 spot cichlid, 3 means TRI
michael diaz » posted 2007/10/11 - 22:31
sooooo it is a flowerhorn right???
Russell Geer » posted 2007/10/12 - 01:33  
Michael, a Flowerhorn is a trimaculatus (usually) that's bred with a different species (often synspillum, midas, etc.) to try to get certain desired features(head hump, colors, finnage, etc.) Your fish looks like mostly trimac and quite probably pure trimac. That is what it sold as, right? I'd look to mail order if you really want a FH. Good luck.
michael diaz » posted 2007/10/12 - 02:12
russel it was sold as a tr-colored cichlid now if mine is pure trimac how will it look like when it gets big???
Russell Geer » posted 2007/10/12 - 13:45
Just do some searches for Three-spot cichlid or trimac. You'll find pics.
