I bought 29 baby flowerhorn from a local guy for 40$. they were all around 1-2" at the time, and now the only ones i have left are in these pics..... I took out the Alpha flowerhorn ( male ) and put him into my 360gallon, while the other ones are in my 45gallon.

How big do they have to be to start breeding?
and Can anyone tell me the sex of these flowerhorns.

thanks!!!!

the fish you see now are around 2-3", while the bigger one is around 4-5".
Alpha ( the biggest one I have, grew much faster than the rest )
and the others

I had 2 very very dark ones, and now I only have one? is it just a different morph? or a runt?
Sorry I'm new to keeping flowerhorns, or reading up on them.

What one?

there are 3 different types.

The big one
The black one
than the normal looken ones
 
Is black pearl good?

they all came from the same batch of fry

any idea on the sex of them though? and are they big enough to breed with my big guy? ( hes from the same batch also )

there is no gravel, so there colors are washed :(
 
what ones are females? for some reason, when i had all 29 in the 75gallon ( mass amounts of caves The big male killed off almost all of the other males. than the females killed the other females O.o... crazyyy

I'm gona say the first 2 pics are a male
than the rest are possible females.
