Remark: This is probably not pure C. trimaculatum but a hybrid called 'flower horn' or 'luohan' bread for the local aquarium market. It has been released into the wild and has established breeding populations in many localities. The flower horn is a cross between C. trimaculatum and various other new world cichlids, but in the wild it recapitulates the C. trimaculatum look.
