My ZZ Flowerhorn progression thread!! Updates, pictures and videos.

[Flowerhorn89]

One month transformation
Okay it's been one month since i first bought my baby Flowerhorn ZZ.
He was roughly around the 4 inch mark, and now he is touching 5.5 inches, in one month.
He has grown around 1.5 inches in this time, and is now eating like a pig. So am sure he will breach the 10 inch mark in another 3-4 months.
I will be making this my Fh's progression thread, any comments and suggestions are welcome

Pics don't do him justice because of poor lighting, do check out the videos to really see the difference

Thank you, MFK!

nice head man and I like the pink... or is that just the flash?

Thank you!
Yes its the lighting. I have a pinkish lighting in my tank. But even without the light he is more of a pink FH than red

He's got a nice kok and he's growing fast

Don't know if it's the camera flash/ lighting.... but it definitely looks like it has some fader genes in him...... however small the percentile.

Yes, i was wondering about it, Because compared to the first pic, you can clearly see he is losing the flower line It used to be a good line, but now, he has lost most of his flower line, and i see them fading away fast. On one side over 50% of the flower line is missing

Thank you Yes he was a good find, it's my luck that no one picked him up before me because he did not show much potential at the LFS .
If the LFS guys saw him now, they would demand double lol

Cool... Keep us updated. Faders are not always deprived of colours.... in fact some fade into really colourful specimens!
