Is these flowerhorn babies or normal chichlid babies? If flowerhorn then which type of flowerhorn? And they are gonna get humps or not?

Well they have tht trademark pattern of a flowerhorn.. so yes it is a fh.. zhenzhou i think. both males from the looks of it. in terms of kok, try giving them proper diet and a proper environment. enhancing the kok is best when one is in a single tank. and the food has a mojor priority to grow his kok. try it out. u might not know for sure? where did u bought it?

what are their sizes now and how big is ur tank? i wouldnt keep 6 fh in one tank. i have two in my 30gallon and they fight. when one is becoming more dominant they will tend to pop out more, in terms of color and kok size. but then, the non-dominant will have a very slow development and possibly become stunted. if you start to see them chasing each other then you will want to consider putting them elsewhere asap. when i choose flowerhorn fries i would usually choose the ones with the most patterns, and if they have a small size kok which i can barely see, i would choose tht.

I have a 20 gallon tank... they all are about 1 inches and they chase each other.... It is very difficult to choose which one is better they all look almost same.... or should i buy a bit bigger fh (with better color and kok) and sell all these....

I also bought mine at 1inch. when i chose them in the fry tank, they were one of the fries that have pretty pearls. and now at about 1.5+inch in my tank one look like dis, i fed them okiko head huncher.

Its up to you what to do, a 20gallon is not enough for even one single fh. u can buy a high quality one though. most fries in fishstores are low grade. i bought my fhs at a local flowerhorn enthusiast, which i got for really cheap. u just need to know how to look at real quality ones. yours looks good actually at 1inch.. already have tht pearls. keep one and see what it will look like.
