bennyboy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi all, I was wondering if there is any way to tell the difference between a Trimac or a flowerhorn labelled as a Trimac. I understand that flowerhorns come in many colours but some have the same colours and similar markings to trimacs(ones with trimac blood presumably amongst other things). I am interested in getting some pure trimacs if those even exist anymore in Aus, but I want to be dilligent and make sure that they are the real deal. thanks in advance, b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You would have to be a good to tell the difference, even a fish that looks true, may not be and you may never be able to tell. Some of the older heads on here might still have true Trimac. Yellow (Jason) or Sorroz (Kevin) might be able to steer you in the right direction for pure fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAL05T Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My mates shop had a trimac get traded in and a well versed cichlasoma gent came and collected him and was most happy, according to him it was the real deal and from all accounts he knows his stuff quite well. I guess it stands to reason that they are here, though numbers would be the big question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sorroz (Kevin) might be able to steer you in the right direction for pure fish hes the only one i'd trust to get them off. in fact he's the only one i'd trust to get the majority of centrals off to be honest; 90% of what i currently own originally came form him.

matt Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 bayfish breed their own trimacs Im pretty sure. i would assume they would have to be the real thing but I dont really know for sure. I hope they would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryOneMoreTime Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just popped in to a new shop that's opened up at South Hurstville in Sydney... Can't name it here for obvious reasons but should be able to find it pretty easy... Sitting up the back of the shop in their own divided tank was 3 x 4" (what I believe to be) Trimacs... I've seen photo's of pure bloods, and they looked pretty darn close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 as josh said Sorroz (Kevin) might be able to steer you in the right direction for pure fish and as i said hes the only one i'd trust to get them off. the ones at hurstville will be flowerhorns, i guarantee it.
