Thank u ? I honestly don’t know because when I bought it on the petshop the japanese lady doesn’t know what type of flowerhorn it is
Looks like a red dragon to me.
I'll definitely agree that it's a ZZ Red Dragon. It's possible that it might have some Kamfa in it as well since the kok it's too big and the tailfin seems wider then normal, both of which are traits from the Kamfa line. Granted everything else points to it being a red dragon.
Btw how big is his tank? Looks kind of small but that could just be the angle/not seeing the rest of it. Also it looks like ya went with a bare bottom tank which isn't bad, but is awfully boring and can be stressful for the fish. I would atleast add in a play pot or some fake plants to give him something to hide in/behind if he so feels a need to.

My tank is only 15 gallons ?im still looking for bigger tank because I didn’t expect that he will grow fast.. before i put a drift wood and a small accs so he can play but he accidentally hit his head on the driftwood so he got injured a little so i took off all the accs that i put inside.. maybe when i get a bigger tank I’ll surely put something that he can play i also changed his filter to sponge filter because the other filter that im using isn’t that good..next month I’ll buy maybe 40 or 60 gallon tank so it’s bigger.. I can’t buy bigger than that because I don’t have a space for bigger ones.. thank u for replying ?btw is it good to put biochemical small thing at the bottom?
I also have this very small flowerhorn i also don’t know what type is this? It’s very small and very active
I wouldn't go any less then a 60g for a lone FH. They can reach upwards of 8-14in and males tend to be on the larger end of that range. As for the lil guy I would probably say it's a Kamfa x Red dragon mix as it's got a 50/50 split on the traits. No clue on gender since it's so small. You'll have to wait till it's atleast 4in before ya can take it out and vent it. I would also recommend venting your Red Dragon as well just to be 100% certain of the gender. It's pretty easy, just take the fish out of the tank with a net, hold it upside down and look at the 2 holes be the anal fin. It the vent is larger then the anus it's a female but if the vent is the same size or smaller then the vent it's a male, I'll add a pic to show what to look for.
As for the biochemicals, I'm not entirely sure what ya mean by that.
Wow sir ur such a big help .. i am new on this hobby and I really don’t know what my flowerhorn needs and I really love the fish it’s pretty intelligent and very responsive.. it’s really awesome.. im thankful i found this site so i can ask help on people here who also loves flowerhorn.. im also trying to diet the fish once a week so it won’t be like obese or some disease.. but sometimes when I don’t feed my flowerhorn it’s looking like very sad and always waiting where i drop the food.. but as they say it’s better to diet it once a week so im trying to do that.. im feeding tubifex on my big guy and okiko on my lil guy.. the big guy doesn’t like pellets lol he just spit it when i feed him so I just give the tubifex is it ok?
Try to get him eating pellets. Much more nutritious. Most cichlids have to be starved to taking foods they don’t want, but they start.
Thank u I’ll try to feed pellets lil by lil so he will get used to it?
