Hello I'm new to the forum, I came across this forum when I was searching for flowerhorn info on the web. I have a 3 inch flowerhorn not sure what type he is, can you help me identify what type of flowerhorn he is? I got him a month ago when he was about 2.5 inches since then his body and colors have changed a lot. Thank you.

Welcome Vinesh! I'm pretty sure it's a ZZ Red Dragon. Should get a good size hump. Feed him some good quality pellets, and do regular weekly or so water changes in a decent sized tank of about 50g (though a 75g would be better when he's older) and you'll have a happy and lovely FH. Good luck and have fun with him!

Thank you for that prompt info. Yes it's a lovely FH it's presently in a 20G and i do 2 WC in a week. Will be buying a 50G next month.
