I used too think it had to have 3 spots too. Then I "opened my mind"(try it) and learned that hardly any if any at all Trimacs have only 3 spots. The name comes from the usual 3 more defined dark spots going from the head to the middle of the body to the base of the tail. Look at the Trimac VRWC posted and you can see what I mean......3 distinct spots

Trimacs have more than 3 spots. The "3 spot cichlid" is a Guatemalan (If I remember correctly) nickname for the 3 large spots, not meaning "there are only 3."

Knowledge is King.

I challenge you to find one with just 3 spots.

O ok you are talking to me. I asked for people to ID what type of flowerhorn it was and what it may have been mixed with. Go read the post and it will answer all your questions before you have to try and type them.
