Is this a gold based flowerhorn???

[F1FlowerHornA1]

This was sold to me as a gold based flowerhorn, never seen one as a juvenile before so unsure. Another mfk member, aquatic aggresion, thought it might be a parrot cross. Other opinions pleasee?

I think it's been acting waaay too aggresive (since the day I got him - 4 days ago) to be a parrot.

Any idea on male/female?

I don't know for sure but the tail flares out like a male

My kkp has ripped all kinds of fish to ribbons. I watched her carry a 5" bristlenose pleco in her mouth across the entire length of her tank recently. Parrots are just as aggressive as any ca cichlid it's just their mouth shape limits the amount of damage they can do. This fish looks to be a parrot cross. Let's see a better picture of the mouth and eyes.
