What is the difference between the two? I don't know much about either. I thought they might be one in the same.
A SB/Bonsai have a short body like a parrot. A kirin/killin is a blood parrot with flowerhorn colors and pearls. If your confused still, a kirin/killin will have that deformed mouth of a blood parrot and has that blood parrot shape head. While a SB/Bonsai will have the normal flowerhorn head.

In that case I REALLY hope its male and and fertile. This is a kirin parrot

double row and looks like their is some kamfa in this one
 
catch the fish flip it upside down looks at the anal gland

if it resembles V its a female and if its a U the its a male. to make things easier.

OO male
O female. or it maybe the opposite. if its about 3 inches then it should be easier to tell.

males have longer dorsal fin and female has a rounder dorsal fin. so by the picture it may be a female but i can be wrong.

Little fish is barely 2 inches plus its bonsai so who knows what size it really would be. I vented it and it looks like o> not the female one. Comparing it to my blood parrots makes me also think male so I'm putty sure I have a male......I hope.
 
its a male
