Just bought a flowerhorn from lfs

[ohdanny]

Hi guys, new here. I bought a flower horn 3 weeks ago. I would like to know what type of fh is it and what do you guys think.

I will be upgrading him to a bigger tank soon, he's about the size of 3 fingers.

This is when I got him, the last 3 photos are most recent.

nice fh you got there and nice pic you took growing kok, beautiful fins. you got a nice one here. not sure what the type is but it has some red dragon and malau from what i see. its mixed up

The kok is really high up, it also has somewhat of a larger tail and the body is long it's a zz with interesting traits

Nice pick up. My guess is a ZZ red dragon with a kok developing. If Kamalau was mix in the fish it will have worm pearls around the cheeks too.

Look how large that spade is on the tail. I bet at the least it was line breed for certain traits. Looks good though
