So I'm pickin this fish up next week from a local breeder. Says its a male Magma Flowerhorn. I've researched a ton of stuff on Fh's and I've always been obsessed with them. He's going in a cycled 75 solo. Being my first FH I would like to hear ya'll opinion of what I'm getting. Thanks!!

That is NOT a Magma. A Magma is the cross of a King Kamfa and a Super Red Dragon. That fish is a female ZZ or female Red Dragon and not high quality at all. I'm not trying to be mean I just need to be honest with you and not let you be misled. That fish is 100% female. The "breeder" who is selling this fish has no clue what he is selling. I would not pay more then $15.00 for that female, and honestly thats generous. If you aren't trying to breed Flowerhorn I would not buy this fish. I would look for a male flower horn. A male would love to have a 75 gallon to himself and he could grow into a beautiful adult if given that kind of tank space.

Based on the dark dot on her dorsal fins and red coloration with limited pearls... Just feed her some shrimps and carotene increasing pellets instead of trying to get the KOK as its not HE its SHE.....just get here good coloration
