I don't know too much about fh's but she looks pretty decent in my eyes. My female layed eggs when she was 3 inches! She has nice pearls, u will notice when she is ready to breed. U can use flat round claypot for breeding. Find them at the local hardware store in the lawn and garden section.She looks like a zz to me . not too sure but I Know she looks a whole lot better than mine! hahah. Oh yea avoid keeping a male with her in the same tank unless you have a divider.

I don't know a whole lot about FH's either, but I really like yours.
The speckling is awesome.

I Can tell you one thing, it's a blue diamond, but to tell you if it's Kamfa or ZZ, I can not say. I've never seen a flowerhorn like yours!!! Nice Fish!!
i picked one up with similar coloring. not sure what type but curious to find out.

It is a ThaiMalau,
a cross between a ZZ and a GM,
nice looking also,
you can not make fish breed,
keep the water clean, put a clay plate in, get a male flowerhorn, and see what happens

Yes, it a female. Think it a GM aka golden monkey. Just find a male that big enough to stand up against her; otherwise she will kill him :) I been breeding fh for 4 yrs, that what i been doin to my fh

What I do to the clay is soak it into warm water for 24 hours. some I don't go through this process. But either way I don't think it will hurt your fh. Bout your question earlu=ier If you can get hand on a red dragon or gm it will be a good mix. but that's just my prefernces or maybe a red texas male? only if you want red pearly fish. GL!

I believe it to also be Thai Malau as well as yes it looks female. Very nice fish I might add real good breeding stock there the pearls are very defined and well backed with red. You should pick a nice good grade male and I think you will be please with the result.

if you want it to lay eggs placed a male FH with divider(so they would not fight) for my experience about 2weeks it layed eggs.
