What kind of flowerhorn is this and is the fish male or female?

[Johnny1997]

I bought this fish at my LFS about 3 months now, they called it Pearl Flowerhorn which as you seen, he/ she does have lot of pearls. I have SRD flowerhorn and he's 3 years old but this doesn't look like SRD since my SRD have red face and red Kok when he was juvenile.

This is my SRD flowerhorn, he's in my 40 gallon breeder, I have 55 gallon tank, that tank have no fish and still in th box but the 55 gallon depth is too small, so that's why I use 40 gallon. My "pearl Flowerhorn" is in the 36 gallon now, but once he reach 6-7 inches, I'll move he/ she to 55 gallon.

Top fish in a male. The dorsal fin is nice and long there are no spots on the dorsal fin and it has a kok. Might I ask what temperature you keep your tank at and what filtration you're running for them?

Looks like a male Zhen Zhou (ZZ) I find it funny how shops just create random names for flowerhorns. I know the breeders in Asia are the ones creating many of the names but at least if they are line breeding to create special traits they can name the breed as they create it. Then our LFS get a hold of fish that are bred by someone somewhere and they just slap a title on it. My new strain will be called "The Pearl God"....lol....im just kidding, I believe in naming them from the genes they come from, or from the titles given in Asia.
