I bought these flowerhorn at petco but they couldn't tell me what type they are and these are the first I have owned so not real knowledgeable on them.

They look to be juvinile red dragons. Also they look like they are heavily covered in ich and I would recommend treating the fish immediately. Also make certain to treat the food before feeding them too, it just helps with the healing process.

One with a itch. Worry about that more than type for now. Looks like a red dragon to me as well.

Wow that is a bad case of Ich did you start treatment?

How's the FH doing?
From the sounds of it, they started treatment on Monday. But yes an update would be really nice to get. I'd like to know how the lil one is doing.

This reminds me so much of how I got my Jr. except he was only .5in at most when I first got him from Petco so he was roughly just a hair bigger then a pill. Otherwise I got him in the same kind of situation, almost more ich then fish.

Treated water twice like it said on the bottle they seem to be doing really well now.
