You'll have to grow them out to find out how they look, no telling exactly what you will get with 100% certainty when crossing fish.

As far as food, you don't have to feed them flowerhorn food, just feed any good quality cichlid pellet that you can purchase in Denmark.

If you lucky, You will probably get a couple fairly good quality Kamfa's out of that cross. Flakes are fine for now, with the occasional treat of bloodworms. Small hikari or NLS pellets would be the next step once they get a little bigger. Krill and shrimp will help them show good colors.
Avoid speciality FH foods until at least 5in. then use sparingly. FH foods are great for pumping fish up, But they are not so good for the internal organs if not fed properly.

i think they will look like a killin parrot or short body flowerhorn

u can feed them on whitebait choped up, prawns choped up, blood worms, waxworms etc

Kamfa'ss Juhuuu

i will post pictures off them when they are going to get colors

Personally I would avoid feeding kribs, and overall would go easy on the animal based protein. (such as suggested previously - whitebait choped up, prawns choped up, blood worms, waxworms etc)

Flowerhorns are omnivores, not piscivores, or carnivores, and they are not genetically or physically hard wired to consume massive amounts of animal protein.
