looks like a flower horn to me.
 
Why dose it look like a flowerhorn?
I'm not trying to be rude, but anyone can come in and say "looks like a trimac" or "looks like a FH"

I'm wanting to know what is it that looks like a FH or What is it that looks like a Trimac?

I have looked at both pictures and can't tell.
the only thing differant, is that mine seems to have a longer nose.
but nether FH or Trimacs have that.

I can tell you he has some NASTY teeth! big chompers!!!
I'll think twice before putting my hand in there!!

Till some one can tell me differant, and tell why.
I'm sticking to trimac ( mainly becouse that what i want! )

After further review of the play...

I actually agree with you that it is a trimac now that i actually take time and look at my pictures, this is because of the mouth and also the consistent coloring in the underside of the fish below the gills. also the spots on the rear protion of the body are consistent with the pictures i found, he is a little skiny i figure thats because the pictures i have are of trimac about 10"-12" .

But my final answer is: TRIMAC
 
most likely a trimac, not enuff coloration to be a fh...
 
i also belive trimac, the spots, and the coloration, i know flower horn have those spots too, but i do believe you got a trimac, and a excelent deal at that size
