ok i got this fish and im not sure what it is.
it has about four black dots al0ng it body and the dots are surrounded with about a millimeter of metallic blue then another dot a bit above and a bit behind its eyes
it has stripes simaler to a convict but faded so its like a background on the fish and a metallic blue sheen on its body when it moves in the light
any suggestions would be appreciated.
p.s its very aggressive

You should ask about hybrid fish here: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showforum=47

A word of warning: a Flowerhorn is extremely aggressive. They'll kill anything, even each other. They are pitbulls having a very bad hair day. You're asking for serious disaster if you try to co-locate that thing with other fish that don't share the same behavioral trait. Think Jack Dempseys, Green Terrors or Texas cichlids. You're going to need a big, BIG tank in a short amount of time.
