flowerhorn id

[davew]

i've just picked up four flowerhorns to grow out to see which one i like best ,i already had one which i got about a week ago which was identified as a zz red dragon.
these fish seem much lighter in colour and seem to have blueish spangles a but still have red on there fins and around there gills, any ideas what there are, they are about 1.5"






this is the fish i got last week it's about 2" , it seems to have more of a olive colour to it.

Because thats the most common strain of Flowerhorn..

@OP.. The first one is going to have better colors than the second one.. The second one could be considered a low grade Fh.. but it might get a little better with age.

ZZ is the most common there for its more than likely what you are getting if you a buying from a store.
