I think it IS. A fader. Or perhaps a very cleanly-flowerless FH. Hmmm... smile.gif

Looks like some type of flowerhorn, I am going to be honest here, the tank looks to small, making it hard to keep the water clean as in the pictures. Also the fish seem to have some type of open sore on it's left side. I would recommend a bigger tank with better filtration, bring up temp 86 degree F and some salt and hopefully the fish will respond and blossom for you.

Thanks for the great feedback. That tank is just a hospital tank for now. As soon the fish is well recover, then i will release it back to the 80 gallons tank.

OK, you didn't explain that you had it in a hospital tank, hope it gets better and yes 80 gallons is prefect for a FH. I was just trying to be honest on the condition.
